Options:
  • A $0 \cdot 031 \mathrm{~m}$
  • B $0 \cdot 125 \mathrm{~m}$
  • C $0 \cdot 250 \mathrm{~m}$
  • D $0 \cdot 0625 \mathrm{~m}$

The correct answer is: $0 \cdot 125 \mathrm{~m}$
AS,
$\begin{aligned}
f &=\frac{v}{\lambda} \quad[v=50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}] \\
\therefore \lambda &=\frac{50}{200}=1 / 4
\end{aligned}$
Now, Distance blw two antinode $=1 / 2$
$\begin{array}{r}=1 / 8=0.125 \mathrm{~m} \\ \text { < option-2 }\end{array}$
