If $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the each of the component sinusoidal traveling waves that form a standing wave, the distance between adjacent nodes in the standing wave is:
A)"$\lambda$/4"
B)"$\lambda$/2"
C)"3$\lambda$/4"
D)"$\lambda$"
E)"2$\lambda$"

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance between adjacent nodes in a standing wave is equal to half of the wavelength of the wave. Therefore, the distance between adjacent nodes can be calculated as:
distance between adjacent nodes = (1/2) x wavelength
distance between adjacent nodes = (1/2) x F1F1F1S1F1F1F10
distance between adjacent nodes = F1F1F1S1F1F1F10/2
Thus, the correct choice is B.
