  • A
    $a \cos(kx + \omega t)$
  • B
    $a \cos(kx - \omega t)$
  • C

In stationary waves,

The equation of a stationary wave on a string clamped at both ends and vibrating in the third harmonic is $Y = 0.5 \sin(0.314 x) \cos(600 \pi t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $cm$ and $t$ is in seconds. The length of the vibrating string is: (in $cm$)

What is the fundamental mode?
