Explanation In the resulting waveform, the areas where the amplitude is zero they are known as nodes and the points where waveform varies from twice the amplitude of its constituent waveforms in both directions they are knows as antinodes. There is one antinode between the two respective nodes. The number of antinodes is equal to the number of harmonics. The strings is fixed at the both ends and the standing wave has three nodes means there is node on each ends and one node is at the middle of the string, so there is only one antinode between each pair of nodes. As the number of harmonics is equal to the number of antinodes, so when the number of harmonics is doubled the number of antidotes is also doubled. Now the number of antinodes is 4 as the harmonic are doubled

Electromagnetic Waves

Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of magnetic field and electric field components perpendicular to each other. These field components are also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

For a standing wave on a string, the distance between nodes is 0.125 m, the frequency is 256 Hz, and the amplitude is 1.40 * 10-3 m. What are (a) the speed of waves on this string, (b) the maximum transverse velocity at an antinode, and (c) the maximum transverse acceleration at an antinode?

Two identical sinusoidal waves of amplitude A and wavelengths of 2.00m travel in the +x direction at a speed of 20 m/s. The second wave originates from position x_(0,2) which is 2 m at the left of the starting position x_(0,1) of wave-1. Also, wave-2 starts at t_(0,2) which is 0.5 sec later than the starting time t_(o,1) of wave-1. The type of interference due to the superposition of these two waves is constructive fully destructive fully constructive undetermined destructive
