Standing Wave Wavelength From Node Position

Mark
< Prev
Next >

The displacement of a standing wave on a string is given by y(x,t) = (2A) sin(kx) cos(ωt). This wave results from the superposition of two identical sinusoidal waves traveling in opposite directions. If a node is located at x = 0.30 m, what is the longest possible wavelength of the original traveling waves?

A

0.30 m

B

0.60 m

C

1.20 m

D

2.40 m
