The equation of a stationary wave is \(y=20 \sin (\pi x)\) \(\cos (\omega t)\), where \(x, y\) are in metre and \(t\) is in second. The distance between a node and its adjacent antinode is

  1. A \(25 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  2. B \(100 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  3. C \(50 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  4. D \(200 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(50 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of wave, \[ \mathrm{y}=20 \sin (\pi x) \] General equation of wave, \[ \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{A} \sin (\mathrm{K} x) \] on compairing, \(\mathrm{K}=\pi\) \[ \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}=\pi \Rightarrow \lambda=2 \mathrm{~m} \] Distance between node and anti node is given as:…
