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:
$(a)$ $(x-vt)^2$
$(b)$ $\log[(x+vt)/x_0]$
$(c)$ $1/(x+vt)$
