NEET Physics Standing Waves MCQ Question
A string tied to a freely moving ring on a rod exhibits standing waves. If the amplitude of the incident wave is 0.5 m, what is the net maximum displacement at the boundary?
0 m
0.5 m
0.0 m
0 m
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
For a non-rigid boundary, such as a string tied to a freely moving ring, the net maximum displacement is twice the amplitude of each pulse, which is 2 * 0.5 m = 1.0 m.
