[SOLVED] Wave Behaviour Question
This is probably going to have a very simple answer, but its a simple answer I don't know. It has to do with figuring out the velocity and wavelength of a wave between 2 nodes. Heres the question.
The distance between two successive nodes in a vibrating string is 10 cm. The frequency of the source is 30 Hz. What is the wavelength of the waves? What is their velocity?
I thought maybe the wavelength would be half of the distance between the nodes but I don't think that's true.
