MCQ
A sine wave of wavelength $\lambda $ is travelling in a medium. The minimum distance between the two particles, always having same speed, is
- A$\frac{\lambda }{4}$
- B$\frac{\lambda }{3}$
- ✓$\frac{\lambda }{2}$
- D$\lambda $
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{\lambda }{2}$
c
In a sine wave particles that are separated by a distance of odd multiple of half the wave length move with same speed and but in opposite direction. The minimum separation is $\frac{\lambda}{2}$
