Two Waves Are Traveling on Two Different Strings ω \omega

Question 29

Multiple Choice

Two waves are traveling on two different strings.The displacement of one is given by y1(x,t) = ymsin(kx + ω \omega t) and of the other by y2(x,t) = ymsin(kx + ω \omega t + φ) .What is the difference between these two waves?


A) The displacement of wave y1 is always greater than the displacement of wave y2.
B) Wave y1 has a smaller amplitude than wave y2.
C) Wave y1 has a higher frequency than wave y2.
D) Wave y1 has a shorter wavelength than wave y2.
E) The two waves are identical except for their displacement at time t = 0.
