Two generators $S_1$ and $S_2$ produce water wave of equal frequency. A point $P$ is located such that $(S_1P -S_2P)$ is equal to half a wavelength. When operated alone, $S_1$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $2a$ at $P$ while $S_2$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $a$ . If the generators are operated in phase, which graph correctly shows the resultant oscillation at $P$ ?

    A string of length $1\,\,m$ and linear mass density $0.01\,\,kgm^{-1}$ is stretched to a tension of $100\,\,N.$ When both ends of the string are fixed, the three lowest frequencies for standing wave are $f_1, f_2$ and $f_3$. When only one end of the string is fixed, the three lowest frequencies for standing wave are $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$. Then
