Question
Standing waves can be produced
Options
A.on a string clamped at both ends
B.on a string clamped at one end and free at the other
C.when incident wave gets reflected from a wall
D.when two identical waves with a phase difference of π are moving in the same direction
Solution
Standing waves can be produced only when two similiartype of waves (same frequency and speed, but amplitude may be differen) travel in opposite directions.
