MCQ
In a stationary wave, all particles are
  • At rest at the same time twice in every period of oscillation
  • B
    At rest at the same time only once in every period of oscillation
  • C
    Never at rest at the same time
  • D
    Never at rest at all

Answer

Correct option: A.
At rest at the same time twice in every period of oscillation
a
(a) In a stationary wave, all particles are at rest at the same twice in every period of oscillation.

Hence, Option $A$ is correct.
