MHT CET 2024 Physics question

In a vibrating string with fixed ends the waves are of type

(A)stationary longitudinal
(B)stationary transverseCorrect
(C)progressive transverse
(D)progressive longitudinal

Answer: (B)

Solution

When a string fixed at both ends is plucked, transverse waves travel along it, reflect at the fixed ends and superpose with the incident waves. The superposition produces fixed nodes at the ends and antinodes in between, i.e. stationary (standing) waves, and the particles of the
