The equation of a wave is: y = 2sin(4x-3t). What will be the equation of the reflected wave from a free surface?(a) y = 2sin(4x+3t)(b) y = 2sin(3t-4x)(c) y = 2cos(4x+3t)(d) y = 2sin(4x-3t)This question was addressed to me during an online exam.This intriguing question comes from Reflection of Waves in division Waves of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (a) y = 2sin(4x+3t)

Explanation: At the FREE SURFACE reflected wave suffers no PHASE change.

Only the direction of wave propagation gets reversed.

So, the EQUATION will be y = 2sin(4x+3t).
