Important Questions on Travelling Waves

The graph shows a wave at travelling to the right with a velocity of . The equation that best represents the wave is

The figure below is a representation of a simple harmonic progressive wave, progressing in the negative -axis, at a given instant. The direction of the velocity of the particle at stage in the figure is best represented by the arrow.

A wave motion has the function . The graph in figure shows how the displacement at a fixed point varies with time . Which one of the labelled points shows a displacement equal to that at the position at time ?


For the wave shown in figure, write the equation of this wave if its position is shown at Speed of wave is

A circular loop of rope of length rotates with uniform angular velocity about an axis through its centre on a horizontal smooth platform. The velocity of pulse (with respect to rope) produced due to slight radial displacement is given by
