$A$ pulse on a string is shown in the figure. $P$ is a particle of the string. State which of the following is incorrect.

  • A
    If $P$ is a stationary point, then the pulse consists of two waves travelling in opposite directions.
  • B
    If $P$ is moving upwards, then the pulse is travelling in the positive direction.
  • C
    If $P$ is moving downwards, then the pulse is travelling in the negative direction.
  • D
    None of these.
