$(a)$ Every particle has a fixed amplitude which is different from the amplitude of its nearest particle.
$(b)$ All the particles cross their mean position at the same time.
$(c)$ All the particles are oscillating with the same amplitude.
$(d)$ There is no net transfer of energy across any plane.
$(e)$ There are some particles which are always at rest.
