Question

A wave of frequency 100 Hz is sent along a string towards a fixed end. When this wave travels back after reflection, a node is formed at a distance of 10 cm from the fixed end of the string. The speed of the incident (or reflected) wave is

Solution

Correct option is

20 ms–1

 

The fixed end is a mode. So the distance between two consecutive nodes  . The speed of the waves is
