Plane microwaves from a transmitter are directed normally towards a plane reflector. $A$ detector moves along the normal to the reflector. Between positions of $14$ successive maxima,the detector travels a distance of $0.13\, m$. If the velocity of light is $3 \times 10^8\, m/s$,find the frequency of the transmitter.

  • A
    $1.5 \times 10^{10}\, Hz$
  • B
    $10^{10}\, Hz$
  • C
    $3 \times 10^{10}\, Hz$
  • D
    $6 \times 10^{10}\, Hz$

Two identical progressive waves moving in opposite directions superimpose to produce a stationary wave. The wavelength of each progressive wave is $\lambda$. The wavelength of the stationary wave is

$A$ stationary wave is represented by $y = 10 \sin \left( \frac{\pi x}{4} \right) \cos (20 \pi t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $cm$ and $t$ is in seconds. The distance between two consecutive nodes is (in $cm$)

$A$ 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 $(\lambda = \text{wavelength})$
