From the graph of Fig. 12.28, find the distance between the following pairs of points in terms of wavelength λ:

(a) E and F   (b) F and G    (c) E and G
(d) F and H  (e) G and H   (f) E and H.



Fig. 12.28. Displacement-distance graph for a transverse wave on a long slinky

Solution

We have, 
a) EF =  straight lambda over 4
straight b right parenthesis thin space FG space equals space straight lambda over 4

straight c right parenthesis space FH space equals space straight lambda over 2

straight d right parenthesis thin space GH space equals space straight lambda over 4
