In a stationary wave, all the particles (a) except at node vibrate in S.H.M. of same period but of different amplitudes (b) vibrate in S.H.M. of same period and amplitude (c) except at nodes vibrate in S.H.M. of same period and same amplitude (d) vibrate in S.H.M. of different periods and different amplitudes

Answer: (a). In a stationary wave all particles (except nodes, which stay at rest) oscillate with the same period. Amplitude 2Asin kx varies with position: zero at nodes, maximum at antinodes. So the answer is (a).

Answer: (a)

In a stationary wave all particles (except nodes, which stay at rest) oscillate with the same period.
Amplitude $2A\sin kx$ varies with position: zero at nodes, maximum at antinodes.
So the answer is (a).
