Question
The distance between consecutive maxima and minima is given by
Options
`lambda/2`
`2lambda`
`lambda`
`lambda/4`
MCQ
Solution
`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`.
