Energy is not carried by which of the following waves

In a string, stationary waves are produced by

By which of the following waves, energy is not carried ?

Assertion (A): When a light wave travels from rarer to denser medium, its speed decreases. Due to this reduction of speed the energy carried by the light wave reduces. Reason (R): Energy of wave is proportional to the frequency.

A: When light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, it loses some speed but it doesn't imply a reduction in the energy carried by the light wave. R: Energy carried by a wave depends on the amplitude of the wave and not on the speed of wave propagation.

If theratio in the amplitudes for two-waves of equal frequencies is 1 :3 then the ratio of the energies carried out by the waves will be

Which one of the following statements concening the energy carried by an electromagnetic wave is true ?

Assertion: When a light wave travels from a rarer to a denser medium, it loses speed. The reduction in speed imply a reduction in energy carried by the light wave. Reason: The energy of a wave is proportional to velocity of wave.

A standing wave pattern is formed on a string.One of the waves is given by equation y_(1)=a cos(omega t-kx+(pi)/(3)) ,then the equation of the other wave such that x=0 a node is formed is-

A harmonic source (S) is driving a taut string. The other end of the string is tied to a wall that is not so rigid. It is observed that standing waves are formed in the string with ratio of amplitudes at the antinodes to that at the nodes equal to 8. What percentage of wave energy is transmitted to the wall?
