Solution
The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct Stationary waves are called so, because wave velocity is zero. The individual particles are in motion, and the entire stationary wave is in the same phase. They are formed by the superposition of two identical waves travelling in opposite directions. Hence assertion is incorrect, reason is correct. D option.
