Which of the following represent a travelling wave ?

A string of length L is stretched along the x-axis and is rigidly clamped at its two ends. It undergoes transverse vibration. If n an integer, which of the following relations may represent the shape of the string at any time :-

Which of the following equation doesn't represent energy of charged capacitor ?

The transverse displacement of a string (clamped at its both ends) is given by y(x, t) = 0.06 sin ((2 x)/(3) x) cos (120 pi t) where x and y are in m and t in s. The length of the string is 1.5 m and its mass is 3.0 xx 10^(-2) kg . Answer the following : (a) Does the function represent a travelling wave or a stationary wave? (b) Interpret the wave as a superposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions. What is the wavelength, frequency , and speed of each wave ? (c ) Determine the tension in the string.

Which of the following law is represented by equation given by Maxwell ?

You have learnt that a travelling wave in one dimension is represented by a function y =f (x,t) where x and t must appear in the combination x - vt or x + or v + vt, i.e. y = f ( x pm vt). Is the converse ture ? Examine if the following functions for y can possibly represent a travelling wave: (a) (x-vt)^(2) (b) log [ ((x + v _(t)))/(x _(0))] (c ) (1)/((x + vt))

You have learnt that a travelling wave in one dimension is represented by a function y= f(x, t) where x and t must appear in the combination x-v t or x + v t , i.e., y= f (x +- v t) . Is the converse true? Examine if the following functions for y can possibly represent a travelling wave: (a) (x-vt)^(2) (b) log [(x + vt)//x_(0)] (c ) 1//(x + vt)
