Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

When two identical transverse or longitudinal progressive waves travel in a bounded medium with the same speed, but in opposite direction then by their superposition, a new type of wave is produced which appears stationary in the medium, and hence does not transmit energy. Such waves are known as stationary waves.
