A wave representing by the equation `y = a cos(kx - omegat)` is suerposed with another wave to form a stationary wave such that oint `x = 0` is a node. The equation for the other wave isA. (a) `a sin(kx + omegat)`B. (b) `-a cos(kx - omegat)`C. ( c ) `-a cos(kx + omegat)`D. (d) `-a sin(kx - omegat)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Note : Stationary wave is produced when two waves travel in opposite direction.
Now, `y = a cos(kx - omegat) - a cos(kx + omegat)`
:. `y = 2a sin kx sin omegat` is equation of stationary wave which gives a node at `x = 0`.
