Question

In a wave motion y= a sin(kx-omegat), y can represent: (a) electric field , (b) magnetic field , (c) displacement , (d) pressure

Answer 1

Answer:

it's answer displacement

Answer 2

Given: A wave motion $y= a sin (kx- \omega at)$

To Find: What is the given wave from representing.

Solution:

All the given options are correct.

             $y= a sin (kx- \omega at)$

If  $y= a sin (kx- \omega at)$ is a sound wave, it can represent pressure and displacement.

In case of an electromagnetic wave the given equation represents electric and magnetic fields.

Thus, the given wave form can represent all four given options,

(a) electric field

(b) magnetic field

(c) displacement

(d) pressure
