Travelling wave
Question

The displacement of a particle in string stretched in X direction is represented by y. Among the following expressions for y, those describing  wave motions are

Moderate
Solution

y=coskx sinωt and y=cos(kx+ωt) represent wave motion, because they satisfies the wave equation 2yt2=v22yx2.
