Question

The distance between consecutive maxima and minima is given by

पर्याय

• `lambda/2`

• `2lambda`

• `lambda`

• `lambda/4`

Answer 1

`lambda/4`

Explanation:

`lambda/4` represents the distance between consecutive maxima and minima. The linear distance between two successive crests or troughs equals the wavelength of the transverse wave. If 'n' maxima pass a certain point in every interval of time 't', the speed of the transverse wave is given by V = `lambda/t`.
