$A$ travelling wave is described by the equation $y(x, t) = 0.05 \sin(8x - 4t) \; m$. The velocity of the wave is $..... \; m/s$ [all the quantities are in $SI$ units].

When a wave travels in a medium,the particle displacement is given by $y = a \sin(2 \pi (bt - cx))$,where $a, b$ and $c$ are constants. The maximum particle velocity will be twice the wave velocity if

Explain the amplitude and phase of a wave.

The transverse displacement $y(x, t)$ of a wave on a string is given by $y(x, t) = e^{-(ax^2 + bt^2 + 2\sqrt{ab}xt)}$. This represents a

If the equation of a transverse wave is $y = 5\sin 2\pi \left[ \frac{t}{0.04} - \frac{x}{40} \right]$,where distance is in $cm$ and time is in seconds,then the wavelength of the wave is .... $cm$.

The equation for a spherical progressive wave is (where $r$ is the distance from the source):
