The transverse displacement y(x,t) of a wave on a string is given by y (x,t) = e^(-(ax^(2) + bt^(2) + 2 sqrt("abxt"))) . This represents a :

Answer»

wave moving in -x direction with speed `sqrt((b)/(a))`
Standing wave of frequency `sqrt(b)`
Standing wave of frequency `(1)/(sqrt(b))`
wave moving in + x direction with speed `sqrt((a)/(b))`

SOLUTION :y (x,t) = `e^((- sqrt(AX) + sqrt(bt))^(2))`, It is a function of type y = F(x + vt)
`RARR ` speed of wave = `sqrt((b)/(a))`
Correct choice , a.
