A standing wave with a number of loops is produced in a stringe fiex at both ends. In this case

A

all particles vibrate in phase

B

particles at all antinodes vibrate in phase

C

particles at alternate antinodes vibrate in phase

D

particles between two consecutive antinodes vibrate in phase

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In standing wave , all particles within one loop are in the same phase but particles in adjacent loops are `180^(@)` out of phase. Hence particles at alternate antinodes vibrate in phase .

Four standing wave segments, or loops, are observed on a string fixed at both ends as it vibrates at a frequency of 140 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the string?

A string 1 m long is fixed at one end. The other end is moved up and down with frequency 20 Hz. Due to this, a stationary wave with four complete loops, gets produced on the string. Find the speed of the progressive wave which produces the stationary wave. [Note: Remember that the moving end is a antinode.]

A stationary wave y=0.4"sin"(2pi)/40 cos 100pit is produced in string fixced of both ends. The minimum possible length of the string is given by

De-Broglie hypothesized that material particles have wave like properties. Figure shows a small particle in a box. The particle simply bounces back and forth at constant speed. As particles also have wave like properties it can be considered to be a wave reflecting back and forth from the ends of the box. The reflections will create a standing wave analogous to standing wave on a string tied at both ends. Since a standing wave confined to a region can have only selected wavelength, momentum of the particle is quantized. We can safely assume that such a particle only has kinetic energy. This energy must also be quantized. What is momentum of particle in n^(th) mode of standing wave ?
