Which general pattern holds for various excited states in standing waves on a rope or string fixed at both ends?
A) Where the nodes are, you also find two antinodes.
B) Guitars and violins have antinodes only in even numbers: 0, 2, 4, and so on.
C) More antinodes means shorter wavelengths.
D) Standing waves involve the interference of waves traveling in the same direction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the number of antinodes, or points of maximum displacement, increases in a standing wave on a rope or string fixed at both ends, the wavelength of the wave decreases. Therefore, more antinodes correspond to shorter wavelengths.
