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.

A shell is fired from a cannon with a velocity V at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal direction. At the highest point in its path, it explodes into two pieces of equal masses. One of the pieces retraces its path to the cannon. The speed of the other piece immediately after the explosion is:

  1. $\text{3V}\cos\theta$

  2. $2\text{V}\cos\theta$

  3. $\frac{3}{2}\text{V}\cos\theta$

  4. $\text{V}\cos\theta$
