Question

The distance between the antinodes of a standing wave is equal to

The distance between the antinodes of a standing wave is equal to equal to the wavelength of the waves that interfere to form the standing wave.

equal to 4 times the wavelength of the waves that interfere to form the standing wave.

equal to twice the wavelength of the waves that interfere to form the standing wave.

equal to 1/4 the wavelength of the waves that interfere to form the standing wave.

equal to 1/2 the wavelength of the waves that interfere to form the standing wave.

Explanation / Answer

equal to twice the wavelength of the waves that interfere to form the standing wave.

distance between antinodes is equal to half the wavelength of the standing wave, so the wavelength of the standing wave is twice the distance between antinodes. The wavelength of the standing wave is the same as the wavelength of the progressive waves which formed it.
