In a standing wave on a string rigidly fixed at both ends:

  • A
    all the particles must be at their positive extremes simultaneously once in half of the time period.
  • B
    all the particles must be at their positive extremes simultaneously once in a time period.
  • C
    in one time period all the particles are simultaneously at rest twice.
  • D
    all the particles are never at rest simultaneously.

The following equations represent progressive transverse waves:
$Z_1 = A \cos(\omega t - kx)$,
$Z_2 = A \cos(\omega t + kx)$,
$Z_3 = A \cos(\omega t + ky)$,
$Z_4 = A \cos(2\omega t - 2ky)$.
