The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements, we will break down each statement and evaluate its validity based on the principles of stationary waves. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - The first statement claims that in the case of a stationary wave, a person hears a loud sound at the nodes compared to the antinodes. - In a stationary wave, nodes are points where there is no displacement of the medium, while antinodes are points where the displacement is maximum. - At the nodes, the pressure is high due to compression of the medium, while at the antinodes, the pressure is low due to rarefaction. - Since sound is a pressure wave, higher pressure at the nodes results in louder sound. - **Conclusion**: Statement 1 is **True**. 2. **Understanding Statement 2**: - The second statement asserts that in a stationary wave, all particles of the medium vibrate in phase. - "In phase" means that all particles move in the same direction at the same time. - In a stationary wave, particles at the nodes do not move (zero displacement), while particles at the antinodes reach maximum displacement in opposite directions. - For example, if one particle moves upward, its adjacent particle may move downward, indicating they are not in phase. - Therefore, not all particles vibrate in the same direction at the same time. - **Conclusion**: Statement 2 is **False**. 3. **Final Evaluation**: - Since Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false, the overall conclusion is that Statement 1 is correct while Statement 2 is incorrect. ### Final Answer: - Statement 1 is True. - Statement 2 is False. ---
