Two sinusoidal wave with same wavelengths and amplitudes travel in opposite directions along a string with a speed 10 m/s. If the minimum time interval between two instants when the string is flat is 0.5 s, the wavelength of the waves is,
25 m
10 m
20 m
15 m
Solution
From figure, if the string wants to get flat so for that it will take T/2 seconds.
At that time when it gets flat Amplitude will be zero.
i.e. the minimum time interval between two instant when string is flat is T/2 = 0.5 (Given)
therefore, T=1 sec
Now, we know that,
Therefore, option (2) 10 m is correct.
