Transverse Waves :: Discussion


4.A wave represented by the equation y=acos(kx-ωt) is superposed with another wave to form a stationary wave such that point x=0 is a node. The equation for the other wave is?
A.acos(kx-ωt)
B.-acos(kx-ωt)
C.-acos(kx+ωt)
D.-asin(kx-ωt)
Answer:  Option  C
Explanation:

For the formation of a stationary wave, two identical waves travelling in opposite directions must separate each other. At x=0, resultant y should be zero for getting a node. Hence -acos(kx+ωt) is the correct answer.
