Explain what is plane progressive harmonic wave?
Step 1: Definition of plane progressive harmonic wave
Step 2: Diagram of plane progressive harmonic wave
Step 3: Equation of plane progressive harmonic wave,
The displacement of a particle from equilibrium position at time is given by
where, =amplitude, Angular Frequency and phase difference
Phase difference depends on the path difference
where, path difference and wavelength.
Where, is a wave number.
