Best answer (c) the alternate antinodes vibrate in phase (d) all the particles between consecutive nodes vibrate in phase. EXPLANATION:  In a stationary wave, all the particles between consecutive nodes vibrate in phase. Option (d) is correct. The particles on the different sides of a node do not vibrate in phase but they have a phase difference of π. So the alternate parts between the consecutive nodes vibrate in phase. Thus the options (a) and (b) are not true but (c) is true.

Characteristics of stationary waves
The waveform remains stationary. Nodes and antinodes are formed alternately. The points where displacement is zero are called nodes and the points where the displacement is maximum are called antinodes. Pressure changes are maximum at nodes and minimum at antinodes.
