Properties of sound
A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).
Quality Of Sound
A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vib…
Categories of Sound Wave
People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules th…

Answer to Problem 34SSC

Number of nodes will be one greater (always) than a number of antinodes.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A wave is defined as a disturbance, moves along a medium (one end to another end). This physical phenomenon is characterized by its wavelength, frequency, plus amplitude. On a continuous wave, the shortest distance (or gap) between equivalent points is termed as wavelength.

Frequency is described as a number of complete oscillations per unit in a particular time.

It is known that standing waves has stationary nodes plus antinodes.

Interference produces standing waves in a rope. As the frequency of vibration is increased the numbers of nodes plus antinodes increase. So, number of nodes will be one greater (always) than a number of antinodes.

Conclusion:

Number of nodes: One greater than a number of antinodes.
