    This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    (a, b, d, e) a) clearly every particle at x will have amplitude =asinkx=fixed

    b) for mean position =0

    coswt=0

    wt= (2n-1) π 2

    hence for a fixed of n all particles are having same value of time t= (2n-1) π 2 w

    c) amplitude of all the particles are asinkx which is different for different particles at different values of x

    d) the energy is a stationary wave is confined between two nodes.

    e) particles at different nodes are always at rest.

Equation of component waves are

y = Asin (ωt kx) and y = Asin (ωt + kx)

So speed of component wave is (ω/k).
