[Kerala (Engg.) 2002]
Options:
A) Same as that of the individual waves
B) Twice that of the individual waves
C) Half that of the individual waves
D) None of the above
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
If $ y _{incident}=a\sin (\omega t-kx) $ and $ y _{stationary}=a\sin (\omega t)\cos kx $ then it is clear that frequency of both is same (w)
