this is the eqn of wave.... wrt to the particle at x=0 as time passes..
i mean this eqn gives the position or displacement of the point x=0 as time passes.
and also,,, the wave is travelling in the positive x-direction.
what do u understand by f(t-x/v)????(in case of waves)
write anything ,what u can extract from this.

areh see all will move towards +ve direction only. its like we are displacing graph to the right
the point will not move anywhere!
it is the wave that travels..
all particles jus travel up and down ..
there is only y-displacement..
no x-displacement.
+y or -y ???
u guys r not giving the answer at one go???need some revision
the info provided just shows that its a function (possiblly),a function of a wave that has dependence on t and x.we even cannot predict whther this wave is even sinusoidal or not(atleast with the given info)
the satisgying condition for a funtion to be a wave (atleast in our syllabus is
(d2y/dx) / (d2y/dt) = k(a constant)
oh yeah,then if it is a sin() then i will say its a sine function having dependence on t and x,we still don t know whther its alinear ,quadratic or which relation
haan ab kuch sahi hai(and within our course)
this is a eqn of a wave that which propagates along the x direction and whose particles vibrate in shm in the y direction
(don't ask in which x direction it propagates as that is assumption based)
dont u think all people above told it will travel in +ve x.....so it must correct.....or u still differ
