$A$ progressive wave travelling in the positive $x$-direction is given by $y = a \sin(kx - \omega t)$. It meets a fixed end at $x = 0$. The reflected wave may be given by:

  • A
    $y = -a \sin(kx - \omega t)$
  • B
    $y = a \sin(kx + \omega t)$
  • C
    $y = a \sin(\omega t - kx)$
  • D
    $y = -a \sin(kx + \omega t)$

The equation of a standing wave in a string fixed at both ends is given as $y = 2A \sin kx \cos \omega t$. The amplitude and frequency of a particle vibrating at the midpoint between an antinode and a node are respectively:

$A$ standing wave exists in a string of length $150 \ cm$,which is fixed at both ends with rigid supports. The displacement amplitude of a point at a distance of $10 \ cm$ from one of the ends is $5\sqrt{3} \ mm$. The nearest distance between two points,within the same loop and having a displacement amplitude equal to $5\sqrt{3} \ mm$,is $10 \ cm$. Find the maximum displacement amplitude of the particles in the string (in $mm$).
