Q. |
Stationary wave is formed by – |
A. | a transverse wave superposing a longitudinal wave |
B. | two waves of the same speed superposing |
C. | two waves of same frequency travelling in the same direction |
D. | two waves of same frequency travelling in the opposite direction |
Answer» D. two waves of same frequency travelling in the opposite direction | |
Explanation: Stationary or standing waves are formed in a medium when two waves having equal amplitude and frequency moving in opposite directions along the same line, interfere in a confined space. Generally, such waves are formed by the superposition of a forward wave and the reflected wave. Both longitudinal and transverse types of waves can form a stationary wave. |
