transverse simple harmonic wave is travelling on a string. The equation of the wave:

Answer»

Is the GENERAL EQUATION for displacement of a particle of the string at any instant t
Is the equation ofthe shape ofthe string at any instant t
Must have sinusoidal form
Is an equation ofdisplacement for the particle at any one end at a particular time t

Solution :The equation of a simple harmonic wave is given as `y = A sin(omegat - kx)` This equation GIVES the displacement curve (shape ofa string in which transverse wave is propagating) as well as it gives the displacement ofa particle at POSITION x as a FUNCTION of time t.
