MCQ 11 Mark
The displacement of the wave given by equation $y ( x , t )= a \sin ( kx -\omega t +\phi)$, where $\phi=0$ at point x and $t =0$ is same as that at point
- ABoth $x+\frac{2 n \pi}{k}$ and $k x+2 n \pi$
- B$x+\frac{2 n \pi}{k}$
- C$x+2 n \pi$
- D$k x+2 n \pi$
Answer
View full question & answer→(b) $x+\frac{2 n \pi}{k}$
Explanation: $y ( x , 0)= a \sin kx = a \sin (k x+2 \pi n)$
$
=a \sin k\left(x+\frac{2 n \pi}{k}\right)
$
$\Rightarrow$ The displacement at points x and $\left(x+\frac{2 n \pi}{k}\right)$ are the same where, $n =1,2,3, \ldots$
