Homework Statement
Travelling wave and standing wave
Relevant Equations
Travelling wave equation
Printed exam question 8: a travelling wave and a stationary wave share frequency 250 Hz and velocity 30 m/s; parts (a) phase difference 10 cm apart, (b) equation of travelling wave amplitude 0.03 m, (c) distance between nodes of stationary wave.


I wasn't sure about my solution for part c. I said "same distance as for traveling wave ie \lambda/2=0.06m".

Also how do you enter LaTeX on this forum?

same distance as for traveling wave
A traveling wave has no nodes...

But the ##\lambda\over 2## is the correct answer.

At the lower left of the edit screen there is a link to the ##\LaTeX## guide:
