Scalars and vectors — practice question

When two progressive sound waves travel in opposite directions and combine by superposition to produce a stationary wave, which statement correctly describes an antinode in this stationary wave?

  • Aa position where the phase difference between the two waves is always $0^{\circ}$
  • Ba position where the phase difference between the two waves is always $180^{\circ}$
  • Ca position where the stationary wave has maximum amplitude
  • Da position where the stationary wave has minimum amplitude
