Let a disturbance y the propagated as a plane wave along the x -axis. The wave profiles at the instants and are represented respectively as

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, C, D
Solution:

Both profiles have the form - a wave travelling in +x with speed v, unchanged in shape.

(A) true: the wave velocity is v.

(C) true: particle velocity .

(D) true: for a nondispersive string the phase velocity equals v.

(B) mixes the two instants wrongly. Hence A, C, D.
