उत्तर
All particles are at rest at t = `T/4` and t = `(3T)/4`, which is in the stationary wave when the particle crosses its mean position.
Thus, the graph shows a stationary wave. The wave at x = 10, 20, 30, 40 cm there are nodes and the distance between successive nodes is `λ/2`.
∴ `λ/2 = (30 - 20)`
⇒ λ = 20 cm
