MCQ
Which of the following statements is correct?
  • In case of a wave, traveling in a string, oscillation energy of an elemental length remains constant.
  • B
    In case of a wave, traveling in a string, oscillation energy of an elemental length varies periodically.
  • C
    In case of a wave, traveling in a string, kinetic energy of all elemental parts having equal length is same.
  • D
    none of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
In case of a wave, traveling in a string, oscillation energy of an elemental length remains constant.
a
When wave travels in a medium then the displacement and velocity at a point varies with time. Hence, for an elemental length, its $K. E.$ and $P . E . ,$ both vary with time. But the total energy remains constant.
