Two progressive waves $Y_1 = \sin 2 \pi \left( \frac{t}{0.4} - \frac{x}{4} \right)$ and $Y_2 = \sin 2 \pi \left( \frac{t}{0.4} + \frac{x}{4} \right)$ superpose to form a standing wave. $x$ and $y$ are in $SI$ units. The amplitude of the particle at $x = 0.5 \ m$ is $\left[ \sin 45^{\circ} = \cos 45^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right]$.

  • A
    $\sqrt{3} \ m$
  • B
    $3 \sqrt{3} \ m$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2} \ m$
  • D
    $2 \sqrt{2} \ m$
