Velocity of wave on string V = √(T/μ) = √(8/5) ×1000 = 40m/s Now, wavelength of wave λ = (v/n) = (40/100) m Separation b/w successive nodes, (λ/2) = (20/100) m = 20 cm

Q. A string of length $1 m$ and mass $5 g$ is fixed at both ends. The tension in the string is $8.0 N$ . The siring is set into vibration using an external vibrator of frequency $100 Hz$ . The separation between successive nodes on the string is close to :

16.6 cm

20.0 cm

10.0 cm

33.3 cm

Velocity of wave on string
$V = \frac{T}{μ} = \frac{8}{5} \times 1000 = 40 m / s$
Now, wavelength of wave $λ = \frac{v}{n} = \frac{40}{100} m$
Separation b/w successive nodes, $\frac{λ}{2} = \frac{20}{100} m$
= $20 c m$
