Questions  

Two sinusoidal waves with same wavelengths and amplitudes travel in opposite directions along a string with a speed 10 ms–1. If the minimum time interval between two instants when the string is flat is 0.5 s, the wavelength of the waves is 

a
25 m
b
20 m
c
15 m
d
10 m

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Minimum time interval between two instants when the string is flat = T2=0.5sec⇒T=1secHence λ=v×T=10×1=10 m.
