Consider two waves passing through the same string. Principle of superposition for displacement says that the net displacement of a particle on the string is sum of the displacements produced by the two waves individually. Suppose we state similar principles for the net velocity of the particle and the net kinetic energy of the particle. Such a principle willl be valid for

A

both the velocity and the kinetic energy

B

the velocity but not for the kinetic energy

C

the kinetic energy but not for the velocity

D

neither the velocity nor the kinetic energy.

For a sine wave passing through a medium, let y be the displacement of a particle, v be its velocity and a be its acceleration :-

A series of pulses, each of amplitude 0.150 m , are sent on a string that is attached to a wall at one end. The pulses are reflected at the wall and travel back along the string without loss of amplitude. When two waves are present on the same string. The net displacement of a given point is the sum of the displacement of the individuals waves at the point. What is the net displacement at point on the spring where two pulses am crossing, (a) if the string is rigidly attached to the post? (b) if the end at which reflection occurs is free is slide up and down ?

Assertion: Standing waves are formed when amplitudes of two constituent waves are equal. Reason: At any point net displacement at a given time is resultant of displacement of constituent waves.
