Standing waves are formed on a string when interference occurse between two waves having :

A

The same amplitude travelling in the opposite direction between them

B

different amplitudes travelling in the same direction

C

different amplitudes travelling in the opposite direction

D

the same amplitude, travelling in the opposite direction with no phase difference between them.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When two indentical waves of same amplitudes and frequency travelling in opposite directions with the same speed superpose, the resulting wave is a stationary wave.

Two waves, each having a frequency of 100 Hz and a wavelength of 2.0 cm, are travelling in the same direction on a string. What is the phase difference between the waves (a) if the second wave was produced 0.015 s later than the first one at the same place, (b) if the two waves were produced at the same instant but the first one was produced a distance 4.0 cm behind the second one ? (c) If each of the waves has an amplitude of 2.0 mm, what would be the amplitudes of the resultant waves in part (a) and (b) ?
