Solution
The correct option is
A
Same as that of the individual waves
Let us consider a progressive wave of amplitude
a
, wavelength
λ
and
frequency
f
=
1
T
travelling in the direction of
X
- axis whose equation is given by-
y
1
=
a
sin
(
2
π
[
t
T
−
x
λ
]
)
This wave is reflected from a free end and it travels in the negative direction of
X
- axis with frequency
f
=
1
T
y
1
=
a
sin
(
2
π
[
t
T
+
x
λ
]
)
According to principle of superposition
⇒
y
1
+
y
2
=
a
sin
(
2
π
[
t
T
−
x
λ
]
)
+
a
sin
(
2
π
[
t
T
+
x
λ
]
)
⇒
y
1
+
y
2
=
a
sin
(
2
π
t
T
)
cos
(
2
π
x
λ
)
Here we can see the frequency of resultant wave is also
f
=
1
T
.
