A stretched string of length l, fixed at both ends can sustain stationary waves of wavelength `lambda` given by

A

`lambda = n^(2)/(2l)`

B

`lambda = l^(2)/(2n)`

C

`lambda = (2l)/(n)`

D

`lambda = 2ln`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

If number of loops in string is n, then, ltbtgt `l = (nlambda)/2rArr lambda = (2l)/n`
