The correct option is D 0.3cos(2x+40t−π)
Given that,
Equation of incident wave yi=0.3cos(2x−40t)
Since the wave is moving towards a fixed end x=0, we can say that, At=0 , Ar=−Ai
After reflection, the wave moves in the direction opposite to the direction of incident wave.
Therefore, equation of the reflected wave will be
yr=−0.3cos(2x+40t)
∵cos(π−θ)=−cosθ we get ,
yr=0.3cos(π−(2x+40t))
or yr=0.3cos(2x+40t−π)
[since cos(−x)=cosx]
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
