A stationary wave is represented by \(\mathrm{y}=10 \sin \frac{\pi \mathrm{x}}{4} \cos 20 \pi \mathrm{t}\) where ' \(\mathrm{x}\) ' and ' \(\mathrm{y}\) ' are
expressed in \(\mathrm{cm}\) and \(^{\prime} t^{\prime}\) in second. Distance between two consecutive nodes is

  1. A \(4 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  2. B \(1 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  3. C \(8 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given stationary wave equation: \(y=10 \sin \frac{\pi x}{4} \cos 20 \pi t\) Compare with \(y = A \sin(kx) \cos(\omega t)\): \(k = \frac{\pi}{4}\)
