NEET Physics Wave Motion MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about wave motion is correct?
The amplitude of a wave can vary from point to point while all parts oscillate with the same frequency.
The entire wave pattern moves to the left irrespective of the phase difference.
In wave motion, the amplitude remains constant at all points along the medium.
All elements of the string oscillate with different angular frequencies.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the first chunk, the amplitude of the wave varies from point to point, but each element oscillates with the same angular frequency, indicating that the statement in option A is correct.
