We know that in a wave equation y=Asin(ωt+kx+ϕ)y=Asin(ωt+kx+ϕ),
yy = Displacement of particle on y-axis (assuming transverse wave)
AA = Amplitude
ωω = Angular velocity
kk = wave number and
ϕϕ = phase difference
I understand that the everything within the bracket in the equation is an angle. But I dont understand what is the difference between those terms. When do we use ωtωt and kxkx and ϕϕ?
As much as I understand ϕϕ is taken into account when we need to find the angle difference between two waves. But I am really confused between the other two. Is there even any difference between both of them?
