Question diagram
A

The amplitude of the wave at different points.

B

The constant phase shift of the wave.

C

The frequency of the wave's oscillation.

D

The velocity of the wave propagation.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The term '2a sin kx' in the equation y(x, t) = 2a sin kx cos wt represents the amplitude of the wave, which varies from point to point along the wave.
