In a standing wave the amplitude of a particle is fixed, but varies from particle to particle. True or False?(a) True(b) FalseThe question was asked in an online interview.This is a very interesting question from Reflection of Waves topic in section Waves of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) True

To explain: A standing wave neither MOVES LEFT or right, all particles between two nodes are in the same phase.The equation of a standing wave is of the FORM Asin(kx)COS(wt),

where Asin(kx) is the amplitude which is different for different values of X.

This shows that for each value of x we get a different value of amplitude.
