Q. Assertion In a stationary wave, there is no transfer of energy.
Reason There is no outward motion of the disturbance from one particle to adjoing particle in a stationary wave.

AIIMSAIIMS 2011

Solution:

In stationary wave, total energy associated with it is twice the energy of each of incidence and reflected wave. Large amount of energy are stored equally in standing waves and became trapped with the waves. Hence, there is no transmission of energy through the waves.
