Physics - Wave on String Question with Solution | TestHub

When a string fixed at both ends is plucked, transverse waves travel along the string and are reflected from the fixed ends.

The superposition of the incident and reflected transverse waves traveling in opposite directions produces stationary (standing) waves.

Since the particles of the string vibrate perpendicular to the length of the string, the waves are transverse.

Therefore, the waves formed in a vibrating string with fixed ends are stationary transverse waves.

Answer: stationąry transverse.
