MCQ
When a stationary wave is formed then its frequency is
- ✓Same as that of the individual waves
- BTwice that of the individual waves
- CHalf that of the individual waves
- DNone of the above
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Same as that of the individual waves
(a) If $y_{\text {incident }}=a \sin (\omega t-k x)$ and $y_{\text {stationary }}=a \sin (\omega t) \cos k x$ then it is clear that frequency of both is same $(\omega)$
