The figure is a composite of three snapshots, each of a wave traveling along a particular string. The phases for the waves are given by (a) 2x-4t, (b) 4x-8t, and (c) 8x-16t. Which phase corresponds to which wave in the figure.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(a) 2; (b) 3; (c) 1 (compare with the phase in Eq. 16-4, then see Eq. 16-7)
