Q15 of 36 Page 108

The transverse displacement of a string (clamped at its both ends) is given by:


All the points on the string between two consecutive nodes vibrate with


Given that;


It represents the equation of a stationary wave. All the points on the string vibrate with same frequency between two nodes. But, they have different amplitudes. And due to different amplitudes they have different energies.
