The figure represents the instantaneous picture of a transverse harmonic wave travelling along the negative $x$-axis. Identify the correct statement(s) related to the movement of the points shown in the figure. The points moving opposite to the direction of propagation (i.e., moving in the negative $y$-direction) are:

  • A
    $a, b$
  • B
    $d, e, f$
  • C
    $h, i, j$

The phase difference between the following two waves $y_1$ and $y_2$ is:
$y_1 = a \sin(\omega t - kx)$
$y_2 = b \cos(\omega t - kx + \frac{\pi}{3})$

The equation of a progressive wave is $y = a \sin \left( \frac{\pi}{2}x - 200\pi t \right)$. The frequency of the wave will be .... $Hz$.

Two simple harmonic progressive waves have displacements $y_1 = a_1 \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi x}{\lambda} - \omega t\right)$ and $y_2 = a_2 \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi x}{\lambda} - \omega t + \phi\right)$. What is the phase difference between the two waves?

The displacement of a particle in a medium is $y = 10^{-4} \sin(100t + 20x + \frac{\pi}{3}) \ m$,where $t$ is in seconds and $x$ is in metres. The speed of the wave is (in $m/s$)

$A$ transverse sinusoidal wave moves along a string in the positive $x$-direction at a speed of $10 \text{ cm/s}$. The wavelength of the wave is $0.5 \text{ m}$ and its amplitude is $10 \text{ cm}$. At a particular time $t$,the snapshot of the wave is shown in the figure. The velocity of point $P$ when its displacement is $5 \text{ cm}$ is:
