For four sine waves, moving on a string along positive x-direction, displacement distance curves (y-x curves) as shown at time t=0. in this right column, expression for y as function of distance x and time t for sinusoidal waves are given. All terms in the equation have their usual meanings. Correctly match y-x curves with corresponding equation.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Use x=0, t=0 for y and particle velocity `(deltay)/(deltat)`
Life for (P), at x=0 and t=0, y=0 and particle velocity `(deltay)/(deltat)gt0`,
Therefore, it matches with (3) in column (II)
For (Q) in column (I): at x=0 and t=0, Y=A and `(deltay)/(deltat)=0`. therefore, it matches with (I) in column (II) similarly all matches can be evaluated.
