Stationary Waves
 

Stationary Waves problem 25


In an experiment, a stationary wave is formed on a string stretched horizontally between two fixed points. Which statement about the experiment is correct?


  • At certain times, the string between two nodes is horizontal with all points having zero displacement.


  • Each point on the string between two antinodes has an oscillation of the same amplitude.


  • The number of nodes is equal to the number of antinodes.


  • Two adjacent antinodes oscillate in phase.
