The transverse displacement y(x, t) of a...

The transverse displacement `y(x, t)` of a wave on a string is given by `y(x, t)= e ^(-(ax^(2) + bt^(2) + 2sqrt((ab))xt)`. This represents a :

A

Wave movinig in -ve `x` direction with speed `sqrt(b//a)`

B

Wave moving in + ve `x` direction with speed `sqrt(b//a)`

C

Standing wave of frequency `sqrt(b)`

D

Standing wave of frequency `(1)/(sqrt(b))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`y(x,t)=e^(-(sqrt(a)x+sqrt(b)t)^(2))`
