Answer 1

here is ur answer......

Answer 2

Answer:  

The distance between adjacent maxima and minima of a standing wave is $\bold{\frac{\pi}{2}}$.

Solution:

The distance covered by a complete cycle of transmission line is $\bold{\pi}$. In a complete cycle of transmission line, a maxima and a minima will occur.  

So, the total distance of a complete cycle can be divided into four equal parts: (i) the distance from starting x-axis to the maxima, (ii) the distance from the maxima to the x-axis, (iii) the distance from x-axis to minima, and (iv) the distance from minima to the x-axis point.  

So, all the four parts will have equal distance which is $\bold{\frac{\pi}{4}}$. As we want to know the distance between adjacent maxima and minima, then we have to add the distance covered from maxima to x-axis with the distance covered from x-axis to minima. So the distance will be $\bold{\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{\pi}{2}}$.
