Statement I : In a standing wave on a string , the spacing between nodes is Delta x . If the tension in string is increased wave same as before , then the separation between nearest nodes will be increased. Statement II : Spacing between nodes ( consecutive) in the standing wave is equal to half of the wavelength of component waves.
