a

\large y\, = \, - a\cos \left( {kx - wt} \right)

b

\large y\, = \,a\cos \left( {kx - wt} \right)

c

\large y\, = \, - a\sin \left( {kx + wt} \right)

Detailed Solution

y = y1+y2

Here, \large {y_1}\, = \,a\sin \left( {\omega t - kx} \right)

At x = 0, y is zero for all values of t.

\large \therefore   Since the other wave is moving along negative x-axis.

\large {y_2}\, = \, - a\sin \left( {\omega t + kx} \right)\,\,
