The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of a standing wave in a string clamped between two rigid supports, we will analyze the situation step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the standing wave equation The displacement of a standing wave can be described by the equation: \[ y(x, t) = 2A \sin(kx) \cos(\omega t) \] where: - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( k \) is the wave number, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, - \( t \) is time. ### Step 2: Identify the parameters Given that at \( t = 0 \), the antinode is at its maximum displacement of \( 2A \), we can deduce that: - At \( t = 0 \), \( \cos(\omega t) = 1 \) (since \( \cos(0) = 1 \)). - Therefore, the displacement at the antinode is: \[ y(x, 0) = 2A \sin(kx) \] ### Step 3: Determine the position of the antinode The antinodes occur where \( \sin(kx) = 1 \). This means: \[ kx = \frac{\pi}{2} + n\pi \quad (n \in \mathbb{Z}) \] For the first antinode, we can take \( n = 0 \): \[ kx = \frac{\pi}{2} \] Thus, the position of the first antinode is at: \[ x = \frac{\pi}{2k} \] ### Step 4: Analyze the displacement at \( t = \frac{T}{8} \) Now, we need to find the displacement at \( t = \frac{T}{8} \). The angular frequency \( \omega \) is given by: \[ \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \] Substituting \( t = \frac{T}{8} \) into the wave equation: \[ y(x, \frac{T}{8}) = 2A \sin(kx) \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{T} \cdot \frac{T}{8}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ y(x, \frac{T}{8}) = 2A \sin(kx) \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \] Since \( \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \): \[ y(x, \frac{T}{8}) = 2A \sin(kx) \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{2A}{\sqrt{2}} \sin(kx) = \sqrt{2}A \sin(kx) \] ### Step 5: Evaluate the displacement at the antinode At the antinode (where \( \sin(kx) = 1 \)): \[ y(x, \frac{T}{8}) = \sqrt{2}A \] ### Conclusion Thus, the displacement of the particle at the antinode at \( t = \frac{T}{8} \) is: \[ y(x, \frac{T}{8}) = \sqrt{2}A \] ### Final Answer The displacement of the particle at the antinode at \( t = \frac{T}{8} \) is \( \sqrt{2}A \). ---
