A progressive wave travelling along the positive $x -$ direction is represented by $y (x, t) = A s i n (k x - ω t + ϕ)$ . Its snapshot at $t = 0$ is given in the figure.

For this wave, the phase $ϕ$ is:

Question

A progressive wave travelling along the positive x - direction is represented by y x , t = A s i n ( k x - ω t + ϕ ) . Its snapshot at t = 0 is given in the figure. For this wave, the phase ϕ is:

TestHub · Accepted Answer

y = A sin ( k x - ω t + ϕ ) at x = 0 , t = 0 , y = 0 and slope is negative ⇒ ϕ = π
