Question

$\lambda$ is maximum wavelength of a transverse wave that travels along a stretched wire whose two ends are fixed. The length of that wire is

• A. $2\lambda$
• B. $\lambda$
• C. $0.5\lambda$
• D. $1.5\lambda$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$0.5\lambda$

At a fixed end always a node is formed sine distance between two succesive nodes is $\frac{\lambda }{2}$
length of wire is $\frac{\lambda }{2}$
