Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 11
Consider a wave pattern described by the equation y(x, t) = 2a sin kx cos wt. Which part of the wave is represented by the term '2a sin kx'?
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.
