Question

A horizontal string fixed at both ends is oscillating in a standing wave pattern. Consider the vertical motion of a point on the string. Which, if any, of these points are moving with simple harmonic motion? A) Only the antinodes B) Only the nodes C) All of the choices are correct except the nodes, which don't move at all. D) Only the fixed ends E) None of the choices is correct

Answer 1

All of the choices are correct except the nodes, which don't move at all.

Step-by-step explanation:

when a horizontal string fixed at both ends is oscillating in a standing wave pattern the antinodes move with simple harmonic motion while the node is stationary.
