$A$ progressive wave travelling in the positive $x$-direction is given by $y = a \sin(kx - \omega t)$. It meets a fixed end at $x = 0$. The reflected wave may be given by:

  • A
    $y = -a \sin(kx - \omega t)$
  • B
    $y = a \sin(kx + \omega t)$
  • C
    $y = a \sin(\omega t - kx)$
  • D
    $y = -a \sin(kx + \omega t)$
