“Stationary waves” are so called because in them

  • A
    The particles of the medium are not disturbed at all
  • B
    The particles of the medium do not execute $SHM$
  • C
    There occurs no flow of energy along the wave
  • D
    The interference effect can't be observed

$A$ progressive wave travelling in the positive $x$-direction given by $y=a \cos (k x-\omega t)$ meets a denser surface at $x=0, t=0$. The reflected wave is then given by

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):
$(A)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{\pi x}{6} \cos \frac{50 \pi t}{3}$
$(B)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{\pi x}{3} \cos \frac{100 \pi t}{3}$
$(C)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{5 \pi x}{6} \cos \frac{250 \pi t}{3}$
$(D)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{5 \pi x}{2} \cos 250 \pi t$

$A$ stationary wave is formed with $3$ nodes along the length of a string of $90 \ cm$. The wavelength of the wave is: (in $cm$)

$A$ transverse displacement of a vibrating string is given by $y = 0.06 \sin \left( \frac{2 \pi}{3} x \right) \cos (120 \pi t)$. If the mass per unit length of the string is $4 \times 10^{-2} \ kg/m$,then the tension in the string will be: (in $N$)

$A$ wave represented by the equation $y = A \cos (kx - \omega t)$ is superimposed with another wave to form a stationary wave such that the point $x = 0$ is a node. The equation of the other wave is:
