In a vibrating string with fixed ends the waves are of type (a) stationary longitudinal. (b) stationary transverse. (c) progressive transverse. (d) progressive longitudinal.

Answer: (b). Particles of the string vibrate perpendicular to its length: transverse. Waves reflected from the fixed ends superpose to form a stationary pattern. So the answer is (b) stationary transverse.

Stationary Waves & Vibrating Strings

In a vibrating string with fixed ends the waves are of type

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

Particles of the string vibrate perpendicular to its length: transverse.
Waves reflected from the fixed ends superpose to form a stationary pattern.
So the answer is (b) stationary transverse.
