Answer:

The string posses kinetic energy only.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case of two pulses interfere destructively, the string is momentarily straight. The resultant amplitude which is produced by the wave pulse will be zero.

Therefore, the potential energy will be zero then the total energy contains only kinetic energy.

Therefore the energy is in the form of kinetic energy.
