Question

In a standing wave on a string, the spacing between two adjacent nodes is Dx -

(i) The maximum displacement at an antinode is$\sqrt{2}x$

(ii) The distance between a node and an adjacent antinode is Dx/2

• A. If only statement (i) is true
• B. If only statement (ii) is true
• C. If both (i) and (ii) are correct
• D. If both (i) and (ii) are wrong

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

If only statement (ii) is true

Answer 2

Distance between two consecutive antinodes is $\frac{\lambda}{2}$

*Distance between a node and adjacent antinode is $\frac{\lambda}{4}$
