The displacement of particles in a strin...

The displacement of particles in a string stretched in the x-direction is represented by y.among the following expressions for y, those describing wave motion are

A

`cos k x sin omegat `

B

`k^(2) omega^(2) - omega^(2) t^(2)`

C

`cos^(2) (k x + omega t)`

D

`cos (k^(2) k^(2) - omega^(2) t^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C

(a) and (c ) represent a wave motion as they satisfy the condition
`f (x, t) = f (x, t, + T) and f (x, t) = f (x + lambda, t)`
