easy

Figure shows a snapshot for a travelling sine wave along a string. Four elemental portions $a, b, c$ and $d$ are indicated on the string. The elemental portion which has maximum potential energy is/are

A

$a$

B

$b$

C

$c$

D

$b$ and $d$

Solution

(a)

Maximum potential energy is stored where kinetic energy, i.e., velocity is zero as the total energy of an element of a wave is constant in its oscillating direction.
