Two waves travelling in a medium in the ...

Two waves travelling in a medium in the x-direction are represented by `y_(1) = A sin (alpha t - beta x)` and `y_(2) = A cos (beta x + alpha t - (pi)/(4))`, where `y_(1)` and `y_(2)` are the displacements of the particles of the medium `t` is time and `alpha` and `beta` constants. The two have different :-

A

speeds

B

directions of propagation

C

wavelengths

D

frequencies

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`y_(1)` propagarted in `+x`-axis and `y_(2)` and along `-ve` x-axis.
