$A$ wave represented by the equation $y = a \cos (kx - \omega t)$ is superposed with another wave to form a stationary wave such that the point $x = 0$ is a node. The equation for the other wave is:

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