Two progressive waves are travelling towards each other with velocity $50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and frequency $200 \mathrm{~Hz}$. The distance between the two consecutive antinodes is
  1. $0.125 \mathrm{~m}$
  2. $0.150 \mathrm{~m}$
  3. $0.175 \mathrm{~m}$
  4. $0.200 \mathrm{~m}$

Solution

Velocity of wave, $v=f \lambda$ $\therefore \quad \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{50}{200}=0.25 \mathrm{~m}$ $\therefore \quad$ Dividing the wavelength for antinodes: $\begin{aligned} \lambda & =\frac{0.25}{2} \\ & =0.125 \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned}$
