CAPE Physics Unit 1 · 2016 · Paper 2 · Question 2(b)(iii)

Another stretched string is used to form a stationary wave. A part of this wave at a particular instant is shown in Figure 3. The points on the string are at their maximum displacement.

State the number of antinodes shown on Figure 3.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
