$A$ standing wave is formed by the superposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions. The transverse displacement is given by $y(x, t) = 0.5 \sin(\frac{5\pi}{4}x) \cos(200\pi t)$. What is the speed of the travelling wave moving in the positive $x$ direction in $m/s$? ($x$ and $t$ are in meter and second,respectively.)

  • A
    $160$
  • B
    $90$
  • C
    $180$
  • D
    $120$

The wave pattern on a stretched string is shown in the figure. Interpret what kind of wave this is and find its wavelength.

$A$ standing wave exists in a string of length $150 \ cm$,which is fixed at both ends with rigid supports. The displacement amplitude of a point at a distance of $10 \ cm$ from one of the ends is $5\sqrt{3} \ mm$. The nearest distance between two points,within the same loop and having a displacement amplitude equal to $5\sqrt{3} \ mm$,is $10 \ cm$. Find the maximum displacement amplitude of the particles in the string (in $mm$).

What are stationary waves? Obtain their equation.

The equation of a stationary wave is $y = 0.8 \cos \left( \frac{\pi x}{20} \right) \sin (200 \pi t)$,where $x$ is in $cm$ and $t$ is in $sec$. The separation between consecutive nodes will be .... $cm$.
