The equation of a stationary wave is $Y = 10 \sin \left( \frac{\pi x}{4} \right) \cos (20 \pi t)$. The distance between two consecutive nodes in metres is

The transverse displacement of a string of a linear density $0.01 \text{ kg m}^{-1}$,clamped at its ends is given by $Y_{(x, t)} = 0.03 \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi x}{3}\right) \cos (60 \pi t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in metres and time $t$ is in seconds. The tension in the string is: (in $\text{ N}$)

What kind of waves can survive as standing waves?

$A$ string of length $1\,m$ and linear mass density $0.01\,kg/m$ is stretched to a tension of $100\,N$. When both ends of the string are fixed,the three lowest frequencies for standing waves are $f_1, f_2$,and $f_3$. When only one end of the string is fixed,the three lowest frequencies for standing waves are $n_1, n_2$,and $n_3$. Then:

$A$ wave represented by the equation $y = a \cos (kx - \omega t)$ is superposed with another wave to form a stationary wave such that the point $x = 0$ is a node. The equation for the other wave is:
