NEET Physics Standing Waves MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

For a standing wave on a string with fixed ends, if the amplitude of each identical wave moving in opposite directions is 0.05 m, what is the net maximum displacement at any point on the string?

A

0.10 m

B

0.05 m

C

0.20 m

D

0.00 m

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In a standing wave, the net maximum displacement at any point is twice the amplitude of the individual waves. Given an amplitude of 0.05 m for each wave, the net maximum displacement is 2 * 0.05 m = 0.10 m.
