The correct Answer is:
To determine which equation cannot represent a plane progressive wave, we need to understand the characteristics of such waves and their equations. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of a Plane Progressive Wave**: - A plane progressive wave is a wave that propagates in a single direction and exists in a single plane. It can be described mathematically as a function of both position and time. 2. **Identify the Characteristics of the Wave Equation**: - The general form of a plane progressive wave can be expressed as \( y(x, t) = A \sin(kx - \omega t + \phi) \) or \( y(x, t) = A \cos(kx - \omega t + \phi) \), where: - \( y \) is the displacement, - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( k \) is the wave number, - \( x \) is the position, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, - \( t \) is the time, - \( \phi \) is the phase constant. 3. **Check the Given Options**: - Evaluate each option to see if it includes both position (\( x \)) and time (\( t \)): - Option 1: Contains both \( x \) and \( t \) → Valid. - Option 2: Contains both \( x \) and \( t \) → Valid. - Option 3: Contains both \( x \) and \( t \) → Valid. - Option 4: Contains \( \log x \) and lacks \( t \) → Invalid. 4. **Conclusion**: - The equation that cannot represent a plane progressive wave is the one that does not include time. Therefore, the answer is the equation with \( \log x \) and no time component. ### Final Answer: The equation that cannot represent a plane progressive wave is the one that contains \( \log x \) without a time variable. ---
