Physics Question on Waves

When a stationary wave is formed then its frequency is

A

same as that of the individual waves

B

twice that of the individual waves

C

half that of the individual waves

D

2\sqrt{2} that of the individual waves

Answer

same as that of the individual waves

Explanation

Solution

If yIncident =asin(ωkx)y_{\text {Incident }}=a \sin (\omega-k x) and ystationary =asin(ωt)coskxy_{\text {stationary }}=a \sin (\omega t) \cos k x then it is crease that frequency of both is same (ω)(\omega).
