Two waves of same frequency $(n)$ are approaching each other with same velocity of $12 \ m/s$ along the same linear path and interfere. The distance between two consecutive nodes is

What are nodes and antinodes?

One end of a taut string of length $3 \ m$ along the $x$-axis is fixed at $x=0$. The speed of the waves in the string is $100 \ m/s$. The other end of the string is vibrating in the $y$-direction so that stationary waves are set up in the string. The possible waveform$(s)$ of these stationary waves is (are):
$(A)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{\pi x}{6} \cos \frac{50 \pi t}{3}$
$(B)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{\pi x}{3} \cos \frac{100 \pi t}{3}$
$(C)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{5 \pi x}{6} \cos \frac{250 \pi t}{3}$
$(D)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{5 \pi x}{2} \cos 250 \pi t$

Find the wrong statement from the following about the equation of a stationary wave given by $Y = 0.04 \cos(\pi x) \sin(50 \pi t) \text{ m}$,where $t$ is in seconds.

At a certain instant,a stationary transverse wave is found to have maximum kinetic energy. The appearance of the string at that instant is:
