$A$ progressive wave travelling along the positive $x-$ direction is represented by $y(x, t) = A \sin(kx - \omega t + \phi)$. Its snapshot at $t = 0$ is given in the figure. For this wave,the phase $\phi$ is

You have learnt that a travelling wave in one dimension is represented by a function $y=f(x, t)$ where $x$ and $t$ must appear in the combination $x-vt$ or $x+vt$,i.e.,$y=f(x \pm vt)$. Is the converse true? Examine if the following functions for $y$ can possibly represent a travelling wave:
