Statement I : In standing waves on a string , the medium particles , i.e., different striung elements remain at rest .
Statement II : In standing waves all the medium particles attain maximum velocity twice in one cycle.

A

Statement I is true , Statement II is true , Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.

B

Statement I is true , Statement II is true , Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is true , Statement II is false.

D

Statement I : is false , Statement II is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In standing waves the medium particles are oscillating and hence are not at rest , though few particles present at the location of node remain at rest.

Statement I : A standing wave pattern is formed in a string . The power transfer through a point ( other than node and antinode) is zero always. Statement II : At antinode is perpendicular to this velocity .

Statement-1 : In the case of a stationary wave, a person hear a loud sound at the nodes as compared to the antinodes Statement-2 : In a stationary wave all the particles of the medium vibrate in phase.

Statement-1: Standing waves can not be obtained in air if the interfering waves are of diffeerent amplitudes. Statement-2: In a stationary wave, different particles in a loop have different amplitudes but same phase.

Statement-1 : Standing wave of small amplitude is generated on a string. The kinetic energy of any small section of string will be same as its potential energy. Statement-2 : A standing wave can be written as superposition of two travelling waes. For a wave of small amplitude travelling on string, kinetic energy of any string element is equal to its potential energy at any instant.

Statement-1 : Standing waves do not transport energy in the medium Statement-2 : In standing waves, every particle vibrates with its own energy and it does not share its energy with any other particle.

When a wave travels in a medium, the particle displacement is given by, y = psin2 pi (qt - rx), where p, q and r are constants. The maximum particle velocity will be twice the wave velocity if

Statement I : When a guitar string is plucked , the frequency of the plucked string will not be the same as the wave it produces in air . Statement II : The speeds of the waves depend on the medium in whhich they are propagating.
