Problem

A standing wave is formed by the interference of two travelling waves, each of which has an amplitude A=π cmA = \pi \text{ cm} , angular wave number k=(π/2)k = (\pi/2) per centimetre. (a) Calculate the distance between two successive antinodes. (b) What is the amplitude of the standing wave at x=0.50 cmx = 0.50 \text{ cm} from a node?
