The $(x, y)$ coordinates of the corners of a square plate are $(0, 0), (L, 0), (L, L)$ and $(0, L).$ The edges of the plate are clamped and transverse standing waves are set up in it. If $u(x, y)$ denotes the displacement of the plate at the point $(x, y)$ at some instant of time,the possible expression$(s)$ for $u$ is(are) ($a =$ positive constant).

  • A
    $a \cos \frac{\pi x}{2L} \cos \frac{\pi y}{2L}$
  • B
    $a \sin \frac{\pi x}{L} \sin \frac{\pi y}{L}$
  • C
    $a \sin \frac{\pi x}{L} \sin \frac{2\pi y}{L}$
  • D
    Both $(b)$ and $(c)$
