$Assertion :$ For the formation of stationary waves,the medium must be bounded having definite boundaries.
$Reason :$ In the stationary wave,some particles of the medium remain permanently at rest.

What kind of waves can survive as standing waves?

$(i)$ For the wave $y(x, t) = 0.06 \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{3} x\right) \cos (120 \pi t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $m$ and $t$ is in $s$. The length of the string is $1.5 \, m$ and its mass is $3.0 \times 10^{-2} \, kg$. Do all the points on the string oscillate with the same $(a)$ frequency,$(b)$ phase,$(c)$ amplitude? Explain your answers.
$(ii)$ What is the amplitude of a point $0.375 \, m$ away from one end?

$A$ wave represented by the equation $y = a \cos (kx - \omega t)$ is superposed with another wave to form a stationary wave such that the point $x = 0$ is a node. The equation for the other wave is:

The transverse displacement of a string of a linear density $0.01 \text{ kg m}^{-1}$,clamped at its ends is given by $Y_{(x, t)} = 0.03 \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi x}{3}\right) \cos (60 \pi t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in metres and time $t$ is in seconds. The tension in the string is: (in $\text{ N}$)
