A wave `y = a sin (omegat - kx)` on a string meets with another wave producing a node at `x = 0`. Then the equation of the unknown wave isA. (a) `y = a sin (omegat + kx)`B. (b) `y = -a sin (omegat + kx)`C. ( c ) `y = a sin (omegat - kx)`D. (d) `y = -a sin (omegat - kx)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - B (b) To form a node there should be superposition of this wwave with the reflected wave. The reflected wave should travel in opposite direction with a phase change of `pi`. The equation of the reflected wave will be `y = a sin (omegat + kx +pi)` rArr `y = -a sin (omegat + kx)` |
