The transverse displacement of a wave on string is given by y x, t = e - ax 2 + bt 2 + 2 ab xt , this represents a _______

Step-by-step solution

General equation of travelling wave is y = f ax   ±  bt = f x   ±  vt y = e - ax 2 + bt 2 + 2 ab   xt = e - a x  + b   t   2 So, the wave will be travelling along - x-axis with speed b a .
