$A$ standing wave pattern of amplitude $A$ in a string of length $L$ shows $2$ nodes (plus those at two ends). If one end of the string corresponds to the origin and $v$ is the speed of the progressive wave,the disturbance in the string could be represented (with appropriate phase) as:

  • A
    $y(x,t) = A\sin \left( {\frac{{2\pi x}}{L}} \right)\cos \left( {\frac{{2\pi vt}}{L}} \right)$
  • B
    $y(x,t) = A\cos \left( {\frac{{3\pi x}}{L}} \right)\sin \left( {\frac{{3\pi vt}}{L}} \right)$
  • C
    $y(x,t) = A\cos \left( {\frac{{4\pi x}}{L}} \right)\cos \left( {\frac{{4\pi vt}}{L}} \right)$
  • D
    $y(x,t) = A\sin \left( {\frac{{3\pi x}}{L}} \right)\cos \left( {\frac{{3\pi vt}}{L}} \right)$

Two travelling waves of equal amplitudes and equal frequencies move in opposite directions along a string. They interfere to produce a stationary wave whose equation is given by $y = (10 \cos \pi x \sin \frac{2 \pi t}{T}) \, cm$. The amplitude of the particle at $x = \frac{4}{3} \, cm$ will be ........ $cm$.

For a stationary wave,$Y = 10 \sin \left( \frac{\pi x}{15} \right) \cos (48 \pi t) \text{ cm}$,the distance between a node and the successive antinode is (in $\text{ cm}$)

If you set up the seventh harmonic on a string fixed at both ends,how many nodes and antinodes are set up in it?

Two travelling waves produce a standing wave represented by the equation,
${y} = 1.0 \, \text{mm} \cos(1.57 \, \text{cm}^{-1} x) \sin(78.5 \, \text{s}^{-1} t)$
The node closest to the origin in the region ${x} > 0$ will be at ${x} = \dots \, \text{cm}$.

In the case of a stationary wave pattern, which of the following statements is $CORRECT$?
