  • A
    $z_1 + z_2$
  • B
    $z_2 + z_3$
  • C
    $z_3 + z_1$
  • D
    $z_1 + z_2 + z_3$

The transverse displacement of a string of a linear density $0.01 \text{ kg m}^{-1}$,clamped at its ends is given by $Y_{(x, t)} = 0.03 \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi x}{3}\right) \cos (60 \pi t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in metres and time $t$ is in seconds. The tension in the string is: (in $\text{ N}$)

$A$ wave represented by the equation $y = a \cos (kx - \omega t)$ is superposed with another wave to form a stationary wave such that the point $x = 0$ is a node. The equation for the other wave is:

Two progressive waves $Y_1 = \sin 2 \pi \left( \frac{t}{0.4} - \frac{x}{4} \right)$ and $Y_2 = \sin 2 \pi \left( \frac{t}{0.4} + \frac{x}{4} \right)$ superpose to form a standing wave. $x$ and $y$ are in $SI$ units. The amplitude of the particle at $x = 0.5 \ m$ is $\left[ \sin 45^{\circ} = \cos 45^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right]$.

The wave pattern on a stretched string is shown in the figure. Interpret what kind of wave this is and find its wavelength.
