A travelling harmonic wave is represented by the equation y (x, t)...
A travelling harmonic wave is represented by the equation \left(x, t\right) = {10}^{- 3}sin where and are in meter and is in seconds. Which of the following is a correct statement about the wave?
Options
- AThe wave is propagating along the positive -axis with speed
- BThe wave is propagating along the positive -axis with speed
- CThe wave is propagating along the negative -axis with speed
- DThe wave is propagating along the negative -axis with speed
Correct answer
C. The wave is propagating along the negative -axis with speed
Step-by-step solution
Given wave equation,
This equation is similar to the equation of wave travelling along the negative -axis which is given by
After comparing, Angular frequency
Wave number
The wave velocity,
