Physics Waves MHT CET

Statement 1: In a sinusoidal travelling wave on a string, potential energy of deformation of string element at extreme position is maximum Statement 2: The particles in sinusoidal travelling wave performs SHM

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for Assertion
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is False
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is TrueCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

In a travelling wave the deformation (slope) of a string element is greatest at its mean position, where its speed is also maximum, so the potential
