Answer to Question #279419 in Mechanics | Relativity for Ahmad

Question

The pattern of a standing wave consists of 5 loops. If the length of the string is L, then the distance between two consecutive node-antinode is:

Answer 1

$L=5\lambda/2$

where $\lambda$ is wavelength

so, distance between two consecutive node-antinode:

$d=\lambda/4=2L/(5\cdot4)=L/10$
