A travelling wave represented by $y = A \sin (\omega t - kx )$ is susperimposed on another wave represented by $y = A$ $\sin (\omega t + kx )$. The resultant is
  • AA standing wave having nodes at $x =\left( n +\frac{1}{2}\right) \frac{\lambda}{2}$, $n =0,1,2$
  • BA wave travelling along $+ x$ direction
  • CA wave travelling along- $x$ direction
  • DA standing wave having nodes at $x =\frac{ n \lambda}{2}, n =0, 1,2$
