$A$ standing wave exists in a string of length $150 \ cm$,which is fixed at both ends with rigid supports. The displacement amplitude of a point at a distance of $10 \ cm$ from one of the ends is $5\sqrt{3} \ mm$. The nearest distance between two points,within the same loop and having a displacement amplitude equal to $5\sqrt{3} \ mm$,is $10 \ cm$. Find the maximum displacement amplitude of the particles in the string (in $mm$).

$A$ string of length $0.5 \text{ m}$ and mass $10^{-3} \text{ kg}$ is tightly clamped at its ends. The tension in the string is $0.8 \text{ N}$. Identical wave pulses are produced at one end at equal intervals of time $\Delta t$. What is the minimum value of $\Delta t$ which allows constructive interference between successive pulses (in $\text{ s}$)?

Plane microwaves from a transmitter are directed normally towards a plane reflector. $A$ detector moves along the normal to the reflector. Between positions of $14$ successive maxima,the detector travels a distance of $0.13\, m$. If the velocity of light is $3 \times 10^8\, m/s$,find the frequency of the transmitter.
