A string fixed at both ends has consecutive standing wave modes for which the distance between adjacent nodes are 18 cm and 16 cm respectively. The length of the string is -

Consider a standing wave formed on a string . It results due to the superposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions . The waves are travelling along the length of the string in the x - direction and displacements of elements on the string are along the y - direction . Individual equations of the two waves can be expressed as Y_(1) = 6 (cm) sin [ 5 (rad//cm) x - 4 ( rad//s)t] Y_(2) = 6(cm) sin [ 5 (rad//cm)x + 4 (rad//s)t] Here x and y are in cm . Answer the following questions. If one end of the string is at x = 0 , positions of the nodes can be described as
