Question

Which of the following statements is correct?

• A. The distance between any two consecutive antinodes or nodes is $\frac{\lambda}{4}$
• B. The distance between a node and adjoining antinode is $\frac{\lambda}{4}$
• C. In the open end is an node
• D. In the closed end is an antinode

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The distance between a node and adjoining antinode is $\frac{\lambda}{4}$

Answer 2

The distance between any two consecutive antinodes or nodes is $\frac{\lambda}{2}.$

Hence, options (1) is an incorrect statement.

The distance between a node and adjoining antinode is $\frac{\lambda}{4}.$

Hence, options (2) is a correct statement.

In the open end is an antinode.

Hence, option (3) is an incorrect statement.

In the closed end is a node.

Hence, option (4) is an incorrect statement.
