MCQ
Which one of the following does not represent a travelling wave
  • A
    $y=\sin (x-v t)$
  • B
    $y=y_m \sin k(x+v t)$
  • C
    $y=y_m \log (x-v t)$
  • $y=f\left(x^2-v t^2\right)$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$y=f\left(x^2-v t^2\right)$
(d) $y=f\left(x^2-v t^2\right)$ doesn't follows the standard wave equation.
