D$Y = A\sin (at - bx + c)$
d (d) $y = A\sin (at - bx + c)$ represents equation of simple harmonic progressive wave as it describes displacement of any particle $(x)$ at any time $(t)$.
or It represents a wave because it satisfies wave equation $\frac{{{\partial ^2}y}}{{\partial {t^2}}} = {v^2}\frac{{{\partial ^2}y}}{{\partial {x^2}}}$.

Two sound waves of wavelength ${\lambda _1}$ and ${\lambda _2}$ $\left( {{\lambda _2} > {\lambda _1}} \right)$ produce $n\, beats/s$, the speed of sound is
Equation of travelling wave on a stretched string of linear density $5\,g/m$ is $y = 0.03\,sin\,(450\,t -9x)$ where distance and time are measured in $SI$ united. The tension in the string is ... $N$
A uniform rope having some mass hanges vertically from a rigid support. A transverse wave pulse is produced at the lower end. The speed $(v)$ of the wave pulse varies with height $(h)$ from the lower end as:
Two similar open organ pipe of length $50\, cm$ and $50.5\, cm$ produce $3$ beats per second when sounded together. The velocity of sound in air is ........ $m/s$
A particle of mass $5 × 10^{-5}\ kg$ is placed at lowest point of smooth parabola $x^2$ = $40y$ ($x$ and $y$ in $m$) (in $rad/s$). If it is displaced slightly such that it is constrained to move along parabola, angular frequency of oscillation will be approximately
A closed organ pipe of length $L$ and an open organ pipe contain gases of densities $\rho_{1}$ and $\rho_{2}$ respectively. The compressibility of gases are equal in both the pipes. Both the pipes are vibrating in their first overtone with same frequency. The length of the open pipe is $\frac{ x }{3} L \sqrt{\frac{\rho_{1}}{\rho_{2}}}$ where $x$ is ......... .
