Stationary waves — practice question

P and Q are stationary points at the two ends of a string. A transverse stationary wave with a constant maximum amplitude is produced on the string. P, R and Q are the only positions on the string at which nodes occur. S and T are two points on the string, each at a distance $x$ from R. What is the relationship between points S and T?

  • Athe same amplitude and in phase
  • Bdifferent amplitudes and in phase
  • Cthe same amplitude and a phase difference of $180^{\circ}$
  • Ddifferent amplitudes and a phase difference of $180^{\circ}$
