$A$ wave travelling along the positive $x-$ axis is given by $y = A\sin (\omega t - kx)$. If it is reflected from a rigid boundary such that $80\%$ of the amplitude is reflected,then the equation of the reflected wave is:

  • A
    $y = A\sin (\omega t + kx)$
  • B
    $y = - 0.8A\sin (\omega t + kx)$
  • C
    $y = 0.8A\sin (\omega t + kx)$
  • D
    $y = A\sin (\omega t + 0.8kx)$

Stationary waves are produced in a $10\,m$ long stretched string. If the string vibrates in $5$ segments and the wave velocity is $20\,m/s$,the frequency is ..... $Hz$.

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):
