Relationship of frequency and nodes/antinodes

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between frequency and the number of nodes and antinodes in a wave. When the frequency of a wave is doubled, the resulting wave exhibits an increase in both nodes and antinodes. Specifically, if the original wave has 3 nodes and 2 antinodes, the new wave will have 5 nodes and 4 antinodes. This conclusion is confirmed by participants in the discussion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of wave mechanics
  • Knowledge of nodes and antinodes in wave theory

Let's say I have a wave with 3 nodes and 2 antinodes if I doubled the frequency applied to the wave how many nodes and antinodes would my new wave have?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
My answer would be 5 nodes 4 antinodes am I correct
 
Yep, you got it right.
