NEET Physics Standing Waves MCQ Question
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?
0.10 m
0.05 m
0.20 m
0.00 m
Correct Answer
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.
