Which of the following equations represents a travelling wave ?
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(y=A \sin (15 x-2 t)\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(y = F ( x , t )\)
For travelling wave \(y\) should be linear function of \(x\) and \(t\) and they must exist as \((x \pm v t)\)
\(y = A \sin (15 x-2 t) \rightarrow\) linear function in \(x\) and \(t.\)
