Q. A standing wave occurs when

  • (A) A wave reflects upon itself
  • (B) The amplitude of a wave exceeds its wavelength
  • (C) Two waves overlap
  • (D) The speed of the wave is zero or near zero
✅ Correct Answer: (A) A wave reflects upon itself
Explanation: In a bounded medium, standing waves occur when a wave with the correct wavelength meets its reflection. The interference of these two waves produces a resultant wave that does not appear to move. Standing waves don't form under just any circumstances.
