In a standing wave formed by two atoms separated by 1.21Å,` there are 3 nodes and 2 antinodes. Find its wavelength.

A

`1.21 Å`

B

`2.42Å`

C

`6.05Å`

D

`3.63Å`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Here n= no.of closed loops = no. of antinodes =2
Now, `lamda _(n) = (2L)/(n) = ( 2 xx 1.21 )/(2) 1.21 Å`
