Standing Wave Wavelength From Node Position
< Prev
Next >

Two sinusoidal waves with identical frequencies and amplitudes travel in opposite directions along a string. The resulting standing wave pattern is described by y(x,t) = (2A) sin(kx) cos(ωt). If a point on the string at x = 0.30 m has zero displacement at all times, what is the wavelength of the original traveling waves?

A

0.60 m

B

2.40 m

C

0.30 m

D

1.20 m
