Two travelling waves ${y_1} = A\sin [k(x - ct)]$ and ${y_2} = A\sin [k(x + ct)]$ are superimposed on a string. The distance between adjacent nodes is

$A$ 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:

In a standing wave on a string:

Which of the following statements is incorrect for a stationary wave?

$A$ suspension bridge is to be built across a valley where it is known that the wind can gust at $5 \,s$ intervals. It is estimated that the speed of transverse waves along the span of the bridge would be $400 \,m/s$. The danger of resonant motions in the bridge at its fundamental frequency would be greater if the span had a length of .......... $m$.

$A$ wave of frequency $100 \, Hz$ is sent along a string towards a fixed end. When this wave travels back after reflection,a node is formed at a distance of $10 \, cm$ from the fixed end of the string. The speed of the incident (and reflected) wave is .... $m/s$.
