A string fixed at both the ends forms standing wave with node separation of \(5 \mathrm{~cm}\). If the velocity of the wave on the string is \(2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), then the frequency of vibration of the string is

  1. A \(0.2 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  2. B \(10 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  3. C \(20 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  4. D \(40 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(20 \mathrm{~Hz}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Separation between consecutive nodes, \(\frac{\lambda}{2}=5 \mathrm{~cm}\)
\(
\therefore \lambda=10 \mathrm{~cm}=0.1 \mathrm{~m}
\)
The frequency of vibration is given as:
\(
\mathrm{n}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\lambda}=\frac{2}{0.1}=20 \mathrm{~Hz}
\)
