The distance b/w a node and the next antidote in a stationary wave is 5cm. The wavelength of the wave would be:
1. 20cm
2. 1.25cm
3. 5 cm
4. 10cm

The distance between node and next antinode is equal to λ/4.
so,by the information given in question λ/4=5cm
so λ=20cm
see the diagram and notice that the distance between the node and next internode is equal to 1/4th of the wavelength

Explain
The distance between node and next antinode is equal to λ/4.?
when two waves superpose coming from opposite directions with same frequency then nodes are formed where destructive interference occur and antinodes are formed where constructive interference occur.
it can be better understood by a diagram but how do i upload it now?
Lemme mk a way for u
I cant understand :(
see the image in that the distance between two nodes is λ/2 because they are forming half of the wavelength
and antinode is present in middle of two nodes so distance between node and antinode will be half of the distance between two nodes
that is how it becomes λ/4
Thnqq :) U helped me a lot
