Physics · JEE | WAVES
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: In a stationary wave, all particles of the medium vibrate with the same amplitude but with different phases. Statement II: The distance between two consecutive nodes in a standing wave is equal to half the wavelength (\( \lambda/2 \)). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option D
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Explanation
Statement I is incorrect because particles in a stationary wave vibrate with varying amplitudes from point to point, not the same amplitude. Statement II is correct.
