The equation of a stationary wave is $ y = 2 \sin \left( \frac{\pi x}{15} \right) \cos (48 \pi t) $. The distance between a node and its next antinode is (in $units$)

$A$ stretched string is fixed at both ends. It is made to vibrate so that the total number of nodes formed in it is '$x$'. The length of the string in terms of the wavelength of waves formed in it is $(\lambda = \text{wavelength})$

What are stationary waves? Obtain their equation.
