    For the stationary wave \[y=u\,\sin \,\frac{\pi x}{15}\cos \,96\,\pi t\] The distance between a node and the next antinode is

    A)  7.5cm                                  

    B)  15cm

    C)   22.5 cm                              

    D)  30 cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Given, \[y=u\sin \frac{\pi x}{15}\cos 96\pi t\] For nodes; displacement is zero \[\sin \frac{\pi x}{15}=0\] \[\frac{\pi x}{15}=0,\pi ,2\pi .......\] \[x=0,15,30,\text{ }...\] For antinodes, displacement is maximum \[\sin \frac{\pi x}{15}=1\] \[\frac{\pi x}{15}=\frac{\pi }{2},\frac{3\pi }{2},......\] \[x=\frac{15}{2},\frac{45}{2},.......\] Hence, distance between a node and next antinode \[=\frac{15}{2}-0=\frac{15}{2}=7.5\,cm\]
