Q84 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (24 Jun Shift 2) · Physics

Two travelling waves of equal amplitudes and equal frequencies move in opposite directions along a string. They interfere to produce a stationary wave whose equation is given by y=10cosπxsin2πtTcm. The amplitude of the particle at x=43 cm will be _____ cm.

Correct answer: 5

Solution

Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the mean position, for that

sin2πtT=1

Therefore, A=10cos43π=10×12= 5 cm

Hence, the correct answer is 5.
