The equation ...

Question

The equation of a light wave is written as $y = A \sin (k x - ω t)$ . Here, y represents
(a) displacement of ether particles
(b) pressure in the medium
(c) density of the medium
(d) electric field

Solution

(d) electric field

Light consists of mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. So, the equation of a light wave is represented by its field vector.
