    Which of the following expressions is that of a simple harmonic progressive wave?

    A)  \[a\,\sin \,\omega t\]                                  

    B)  \[a\,\sin \,(\omega t)\,\cos \,kx\]

    C)  \[a\,\sin \,(\omega t-kx)\,\]     

    D)  \[a\cos kx\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    General equation of wave motion should be represented by                 \[y=f(ax\pm bt)\]or\[f(at\pm bx)\] When \[y\] is a sine or cosine function such as                 \[y=a\,\,\sin \,\,(\omega t-kx)\] or            \[y=a\,\,\cos \,\,(\omega t-kx)\] it is called simple harmonic progressive wave.
