Question

The distance between successive nodes and antinodes is:

(a) λ / 2

(b) λ

(c) λ/4

(d) 2 λ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The option a) $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ is correct

Explanation:

• Nodes and anti-nodes are formed in the stationary waves. In a stationary wave, the distance between two successive nodes and anti-nodes is one half wavelength.
• Let $\lambda$ be the wavelength.

Therefore the distance between successive nodes and antinodes is $\frac{1}{2}(\lambda)$

• It can be written as $\frac{\lambda}{2}$

• Therefore the option a) $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ is correct

Answer 2

Answer:

(c) λ/4 The distance between node and adjecant anti is

(c) λ/4
