Plane microwaves from a transmitter are directed normally towards a plane reflector. $A$ detector moves along the normal to the reflector. Between positions of $14$ successive maxima,the detector travels a distance of $0.13\, m$. If the velocity of light is $3 \times 10^8\, m/s$,find the frequency of the transmitter.

What are the amplitudes at node and antinode in a stationary wave? Explain.

$A$ stretched string is fixed at both ends. It is made to vibrate so that the total number of nodes formed in it is '$x$'. The length of the string in terms of the wavelength of waves formed in it is $(\lambda = \text{wavelength})$

The equation of a stationary wave is $y = 10 \sin \left( \frac{\pi x}{4} \right) \cos (20 \pi t)$. The distance between two consecutive nodes is:
