$A$ 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 $(\lambda = \text{wavelength})$

Standing waves are produced in a string $16 \ m$ long. If there are $9$ nodes between the two fixed ends of the string and the speed of the wave is $32 \ m/s$, what is the frequency of the wave (in $Hz$)?

Two progressive waves $Y_1 = \sin 2 \pi \left( \frac{t}{0.4} - \frac{x}{4} \right)$ and $Y_2 = \sin 2 \pi \left( \frac{t}{0.4} + \frac{x}{4} \right)$ superpose to form a standing wave. $x$ and $y$ are in $SI$ units. The amplitude of the particle at $x = 0.5 \ m$ is $\left[ \sin 45^{\circ} = \cos 45^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right]$.
