Physics Wave and Sound General MCQ (Single Correct)

The displacement sound wave in a medium is given by the equation Y = A cos(ax + bt) where A, a and b are positive constants. The wave is reflected by an denser obstacle situated at x = 0. The intensity of the reflected wave is 0.64 times that of the incident wave. Mark the incorrect statement(s).

A
the wavelength and frequency of the wave are 2π/a and b/2π respectively
B
the amplitude of the reflected wave is 0.8 A
C
the resultant wave formed after reflection is y = A cos(ax + bt) + [– 0.8 A cos (ax – bt)] and V max (maximum particle speed) is 1.8 bA
D
the equation of the standing wave so formed is y = 1.8 A sin ax cos bt
