Stationary Waves

1. Answer: B

2. Answer:C
A half of time of periods, so let’s see the picture

3. Answer: C
This is the type of CLOSED BOTH END and the TWO
LOOPS means SECOND HARMONIC. The formula
listed as below:
4. Answer: A
A half of wavelength means a half time of period. Let’s
see the picture

5. Answer: B
This is the type of CLOSED AT ONE END. The formula
listed as below:

First, we find THE FIRST HARMONIC

L = 0.85 m; v = 340 m/s
v = f0λ
λ = 4l
v 340
So, f0 = =
4 l 4 ∙ 0.85
=100 Hz

Another frequency is SECOND HARMONIC which is:

3 = 3 x 100 = 300 Hz
Another frequency is THIRD HARMONIC which is:
5 = 5 x 100 = 500 Hz
6. Answer: D
This is the type of CLOSED AT ONE END

7. Answer: D
This is the type of CLOSED AT ONE END
L = 32 cm (air column) → λ = 4L = 4 x 32 = 128 cm

8. Answer: D
This is the type of CLOSED AT ONE END
L = ¼ λ → λ = 4L

9. Answer:
This is the type of CLOSED AT ONE END
L = 0.14 m & 0.42 m
λ = 4L = 4 x 0.14 = 0.56 m & λ = 4L = 4 x 0.42 = 1.68 m

10. Answer:
This is the type of CLOSED AT ONE END
L = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m
v 340
f0 = 4l = 4 x 0.015
=¿

11. Answer:
This is the type of CLOSED AT ONE END
L=x&y
λ = 4L = 4x & λ = 4L = 4y

12. Answer:
13. Answer: B

14. Answer:

This is the type of CLOSED AT ONE END & SECOND

HARMONIC
L = 60 cm = 0.6 m
v = f0λ
λ = 4l/3
v 9 v 9 x 340
So, f = 3f0 =3 x = =
4 l/3 4 l 4 x 0.6

15. Answer: B
Because there are constructive and destructive waves
regularly in stationary waves
