MCQ
Standing waves are produced in a $10 \;m$ long stretched string. If the string vibrates in $5$ segments and the wave velocity is $20\; m/s$, the frequency is ... $Hz$
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • $5$
  • D
    $10$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$5$
c
(c) String vibrates in five segment so $\frac{5}{2}\lambda = l$

==> $\lambda = \frac{{2l}}{5}$

Hence $n = \frac{v}{\lambda } = 5 \times \frac{v}{{2l}}$$ = 5 \times \frac{{20}}{{2 \times 10}} = 5$$Hz$
