    Stationary waves are so called because in  them:                           

    A)  the particles of the medium are not disturbed at all                   

    B)  the particles of the medium do not execute SHM                          

    C)  Particles do not correspond flow of energy along the wire

    D)  the interference effect cannot be observed

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     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.
