The wave pattern on a stretched string is shown in figure . Interpret what kind of wave this is and find its wavelength

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have to observe the displacement and potion of different points, then accordigly nature of two wave is decided.
Points on position x=10,20,30,40 never move, always at mean position with respect to
`:. ` Distance between two sucessive nodes =`(lambda)/(2)`
`rArr" " lambda=2xx`(node to node distance )
`" " =2xx(20-10)`
`" " =2xx10=20cm`
