The equation of a progressive wave is given by $y = 6 \cos(100t - 4x)$ where $y$ is in $\mu\text{m}$, $x$ is in metre and $t$ is in second. The ratio of the maximum particle velocity to the velocity of wave is

$A$ simple harmonic progressive wave is represented by $y=A \sin (100 \pi t+3 x)$. The distance between two points on the wave at a phase difference of $\frac{\pi}{3}$ radian is

The displacement $y$ (in $cm$) in case of a simple harmonic wave is given by $y=\frac{10}{\pi} \sin \left(2000 \pi t-\frac{\pi x}{17}\right)$. The period and maximum velocity of the particles in the medium will respectively be

For the wave $y(x, t) = 3.0 \sin (36 t + 0.018 x + \pi / 4)$,plot the displacement $(y)$ versus time $(t)$ graphs for $x = 0, 2$ and $4 \; cm$. What are the shapes of these graphs? In which aspects does the oscillatory motion in a travelling wave differ from one point to another: amplitude,frequency,or phase?

The diagram below shows the propagation of a wave. Which points are in the same phase?

Given below are some functions of $x$ and $t$ to represent the displacement of an elastic wave.
$(i) \, y = 5 \cos (4x) \sin (20t)$
$(ii) \, y = 4 \sin (5x - t/2) + 3 \cos (5x - t/2)$
$(iii) \, y = 10 \cos (252\pi t) \cos (250\pi t)$
$(iv) \, y = 100 \cos (100\pi t + 0.5x)$
State which of these represent:
$(a)$ a travelling wave along $-x$ direction
$(b)$ a stationary wave
$(c)$ beats
$(d)$ a travelling wave along $+x$ direction.
