1.	Which of the following statements is correct for stationary wavesA. Nodes and antinodes are formed in case of stationary transverse wave onlyB. In case of longitudinal stationary wave , compressions and rarefactions are obtained in place of nodes and antinodes respectivelyC. Suppose two plane wave , one longitudinal and the other transverse having same frequency and amplitude are travelling in a medium in opposite directions with the same period , by superposition of these waves , stationary waves cannot be obtainedD. None of the above
Answer» Correct Answer - C Node means a point at which medium particles do not displace from its mean position and antinode mean a point at which particles oscillate with maximum possible amplitude . Nodes and antinodes are obtained for both types of stationary waves , transverse and longitudinal . Hence , options (a) and (b) both are wrong . To obtain a stationary wave , two waves travelling in opposite directions , having same amplitude , same frequency are required . They must have same nature , means either both of the waves should be longitudinal or both of them should be transverse . Hence , option ( c) is correct .
