In my attempt at a solution, I just assumed that the frequency from part A carried over (am I wrong to assume this?), giving me the same wavelength of 0.6m. In light of your question, I'm confused as to why the distance between interference maxima is only 0.45m instead of 0.60m, because...

Oh my gawd. I'm so dumb. Half a cycle is just pi so they're moving out of phase?

Ok, that's what I thought. So then I answered they're moving with pi/2 phase difference but I got it wrong. The other options are not moving, moving in phase, and moving out of phase.

Homework Statement A. Two identical speakers, with the same phase constant, are arranged along a 1D track. One speaker remains at the origin. The other speaker can slide along the track to any position x. You are on the track at x=10 m. You hear interference maxima when the adjutable...

The solid line is where the string is physically. The dashed line is where the string will be in half a cycle. How does this relate to phase?

One antinode point would be up and one would be down. Would that mean they are in phase though?

So this is what I have, the two ends of the "string" are clamped. When the wave is in action, the antinode will move up and down. But the question asks about the motion relating two adjacent antinodes. Does that mean the antinodes are not moving?

Homework Statement How would you describe the motion of a string at two adjacent antinodes? Homework Equations N/A The Attempt at a Solution So would the antinodes not be moving since it's a standing wave? Or would they be moving in phase because they are propagating together?
