A standing wave arises on a string when two waves of equal amplitude , frequency and wavelength travelling in opposite superimose. If the frequency of oscillation of the standing waves

A

gets doubled

B

gets halved

C

remains unchanged

D

changes but not by a factor of `2 or 1//2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The frequency of oscillation of the standing wave same as that of either of the component waves.
