Wave Motion 5 Question 18

18. In a wave motion y=asin(kxωt),y can represent

(a) electric field

(b) magnetic field (1999,3M)

(c) displacement

(d) pressure

(1999, 3M)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 18. (a, b, c, d)

Solution:

  1. In case of sound wave, y can represent pressure and displacement, while in case of an electromagnetic wave it represents electric and magnetic fields.

NOTE

In general, y is any general physical quantity which is made to oscillate at one place and these oscillations are propagated to other places also.
