Wave Mechanics Question 715
Question: Two waves are approaching each other with a velocity of 16 m/s and frequency n. The distance between two consecutive nodes is
[CPMT 2001; Pb. PMT 1999]
Options:
A) $ \frac{16}{n} $
B) $ \frac{8}{n} $
C) $ \frac{n}{16} $
D) $ \frac{n}{8} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Distance between two nodes = $ \frac{\lambda }{2} $
$ =\frac{v}{2n}=\frac{16}{2n}=\frac{8}{n} $
