Answer: 2.25.
- A 2.25
- B 1.5
- C 3.375
- D 1.125
Correct answer: A. 2.25
Explanation: f ∝ √T, so T ratio = (330/220)<sup>2</sup> = (1.5)<sup>2</sup> = 2.25.
A standing wave forms from two identical waves travelling in opposite directions and interfering; nodes (always zero displacement) and antinodes (maximum displacement) stay fixed in place, unlike a travelling wave where the whole pattern moves.
