Correct answer is (b) y=-asin(ωt+kx)
Explanation: For producing node, the superposing wave must travel in the opposite direction (x term must have opposite sign) and its displacement must be negative. Hence the correct option is y=-asin(ωt+kx)
Moreover,
y=y1+y2=asin(ωt-kx)-asin(ωt+kx)
y=-2acosωtsinkx
At x=0, y = 0. That is a node is formed.
