Stationary waves — practice question

A progressive wave is incident normally on a flat reflector. The reflected wave overlaps the incident wave, so a stationary wave is produced. At an antinode, what might be the ratio $\dfrac{\text{displacement of the incident wave}}{\text{displacement of the reflected wave}}$ at any instant?

  • A$-1$
  • B$0$
  • C$1$
  • D$2$
