Question
Y(x,t) = 0.05 / [(4x + 2t)2 + 5] represents a moving wave pulse, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Then which statement(s) are CORRECT:
Options
A.Pulse is moving in – x direction
B.Wave speed is 0.5 m/s
C.Maximum particle displacement is 1 cm
D.It is a symmetric pulse
Solution
Sol. y(x, t) = $\frac{0.05}{\lbrack(4x + 2t)^{2} + 5\rbrack}$ = $\frac{0.05}{\left\lbrack 16\left( x + \frac{t}{2} \right)^{2} + 5 \right\rbrack}$
Sov = 0.5 m/s in –ve x direction
at t = 0, y(x, 0) = $\frac{0.05}{16x^{2} + 5}$ (Symmetric function)
at x = 0, displacement is maximum
ymax = $\frac{0.05}{5}$ = 0.01 m = 1 cm
