A wave motion has the function y=a0sin(ωtkx). The graph in figure shows how the displacement y at a fixed point varies with time t. Which one of the labelled points shows a displacement equal to that at the position x=π2k at time t = 0

a
P
b
Q
c
R
d
S

detailed solution

Correct option is B

At t = 0 and x=π2k. The displacementy=a0sin ω0−k×π2k=−a0sinπ2=−a0from graph. Point of maximum displacement (a0) in negative direction is Q.
