14.Waves and Sound
normal
A wave $y = a\,\sin \,\left( {\omega t - kx} \right)$ on a string meets with another wave producing a node at $x = 0$. Then the equation of the unknown wave is
A
$y = a\,\sin \,\left( {\omega t + kx} \right)$
B
$y = - a\,\sin \,\left( {\omega t + kx} \right)$
C
$y = a\,\sin \,\left( {\omega t - kx} \right)$
D
$y = - a\,\sin \,\left( {\omega t - kx} \right)$
Solution
$y = a\,\sin \,\left( {\omega t – kx} \right) – a\,\sin \,\left( {\omega t + kx} \right)$
$y = – 2a\,\cos \,\omega t\,\sin \,kx$
at $x = 0 \Rightarrow y = 0$ (node)
