Consider a standing wave on a wire under tension, fixed at both ends. Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between the displacement of a point on the wire to the speed with which that point moves?

Question

Consider a standing wave on a wire under tension, fixed at both ends. Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between the displacement of a point on the wire to the speed with which that point moves?

Answer

The displacement is a maximum when the point is moving fastest, so the snapshot of the wave would be the typical wavy depiction of the standing wave..

Answer

The displacement is a maximum when the point is moving fastest, so the snapshot of the wave would be a straight line.

Answer

The displacement is zero when the point is moving fastest, so the snapshot of the wave would be a straight line.
