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.
