The equation of stationary wave along a stretched string is given by y = 5 sin πx3 cos 40πt where, x and y are in cm and t in second. The separation between two adjacent nodes is :

  • 1.5 cm

  • 3 cm

  • 6 cm

  • 4 cm

Solution

B.

3 cm

Given equation 

y = 5 sin πx3cos 40 πt

Compairing with standard equation

y = A sin kx cosωt

 k = π/32π3= π3λ = 6 cmSeparation between two cosecutive nodes      λ2 = 62 = 3cm
