Sound WavesHard
Question
In a wave motion y = a sin(kx - ωt), y can represents
Options
A.electric field
B.magnetic field
C.displacement
D.pressure
Solution
In case of sound wave, y can represent pressure and displacement, while in case of an electromagnetic wave it represent electric and magnetic fields.
Note : In general y is any general physical quantity which is made to oscillate at one place and these oscillation are propagated to other place also.
