Question

Standing waves can be produced (A) on a string clamped at both ends (B) on a string clamped at one end and free at the other (C) when incident wave gets reflected from a wall (D) when two identical waves with a phase difference of π are moving in the same direction

Standing waves can be produced only when two similar type of waves (same frequency and speed, but amplitude may be different) travel in opposite directions.

Q. Standing waves can be produced

on a string clamped at both ends

on a string clamped at one end and free at the other

when incident wave gets reflected from a wall

when two identical waves with a phase difference of $π$ are moving in the same direction

Standing waves can be produced only when two similar type of waves (same frequency and speed, but amplitude may be different) travel in opposite directions.
