A progressive wave travelling along the positive \(x-\) direction is represented by \(y(x, t) = A\,sin\,\left( {kx - \omega t + \phi } \right)\). Its snapshot at \(t = 0\) is given in the figure For this wave, the phase \(\phi \) is

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\pi \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(y=A \sin (k x-w t+\phi)\)
at \(x=0, t=0\) and slope is negative
\(\Rightarrow \phi=\pi\)
