Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).

Question

According to the superposition principle, the wave resulting from the composition of waves d1, d2 and d3 below (all transverse) and which propagate on a string of length L, fixed at both ends, will have the following characteristics:

( )A standing wave with four times the amplitude of D1.
( )A wave with the same amplitude, velocity and initial phase as D1, but with the opposite direction of propagation.
( )A standing wave with twice the amplitude of D1.
( )A wave with the same propagation direction, velocity and initial phase as D1 , but with twice its amplitude.
( )A wave with the same speed and initial phase as D1 , but with the opposite direction of propagation and twice its amplitude.
( )A wave with the same speed and initial phase as D1 , but with the opposite direction of propagation and half its amplitude.
( )A wave with the same speed and initial phase as D1, but with the opposite direction of propagation and four times its amplitude.
( )A wave with the same propagation direction, velocity and initial phase as D1, but with half its amplitude.
( )A wave with the same propagation direction, velocity and initial phase as D1, but with four times its amplitude.
( )A standing wave with the same amplitude as D1.

A standing wave has the following wave-function: y(x,t) = 0.2 sin(TIX) cos(12Ttt), where x and y are in meters, and t is in seconds. If the length of the string is L = 2 m and it is fixed at both ends, then the harmonic, n, in which the string is vibrating is: O n= 3 O n= 6 O n = 5 n = 2 n = 4 A standing wave with wavelength A = 1.2 m and frequency f = 50 Hz is generated on a stretched cord. For an element of the cord at x = 0.5 m, the maximum transverse velocity is v(y,max) = 2t m/s. The amplitude A of each of the individual waves producina the standing wave is:
