MCQ
In a stationary wave, all particles are
  • At rest at the same time twice in every period of oscillation
  • B
    At rest at the same time only once in every period of oscillation
  • C
    Never at rest at the same time
  • D
    Never at rest at all

Answer

Correct option: A.
At rest at the same time twice in every period of oscillation
a
(a) In a stationary wave, all particles are at rest at the same twice in every period of oscillation.

Hence, Option $A$ is correct.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A$ : When a body is projected at an angle $45^{\circ}$, it's range is maximum.

Reason $R$ : For maximum range, the value of $\sin 2 \theta$ should be equal to one.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
