Given below are some functions of $x$ and $t$ to represent the displacement (transverse or longitudinal) of an elastic wave. State which of these represent a travelling wave
A
$y = 2\,cos\,(3x)\,sin\,(10t)$
B
$y = 2\,\sqrt {x - vt}$
C
$y = 3\,sin\,(5x -0.5t) + 4\,cos\,(5x -0.5t)$
D
$y = cos\,x\,sin\,t + cos\,2x\,sin\,2t$
Solution
The given equation represents a travelling wave as the harmonic terms $k x$ and $\omega t$ are in the combination of $k x-\omega t$
