​Q9. Figure shows a snapshot for a travelling sine wave along a string. Four elemental portions a, b, c, and d are indicated on the string. The elemental portion which has maximum potential energy is/ are

                
     (1) a                                                                   (2) b

     (3) c                                                                   (4) b and d

(A) is the correct answer here. Since the potential energy is directly proportional to the square of the slope of wave graph, i.e. dy/dx, hence slope at point a is maximum, so is the potential energy

But slope is max at d
