Question

The equation $\overrightarrow{\varphi }(x,t)=\overrightarrow{j}sin\left(\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }vt\right)cos\left(\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }x\right)$ represents

• A. Transverse progressive wave
• B. Longitudinal progressive wave
• C. Longitudinal stationary wave
• D. Transverse stationary wave

Answer 1

The correct option is D Transverse stationary wave

The given wave equation describes a standing wave and the wave propagates in the Y- direction where as it oscillates in X- direction hence, a Transverse standing wave
