Consider the following statements about stationary waves:
$A$. The distance between two adjacent nodes or antinodes is equal to $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ $(\lambda = \text{wavelength of the wave})$.
$B$. $A$ pressure node is always formed at the open end of the open organ pipe.
Choose the correct option from the following:

  • A
    Only the statement $A$ is true
  • B
    Only the statement $B$ is true
  • C
    Both statements $A$ and $B$ are true
