Explanation Given data: The speed of a wave is 10 m/s. The time at which the resultant wave is to be determined is 0.10 s, 0.20 s and 0.30 s. The pulses are shown as, Formula used: The expression for distance travelled by a wave in a given time is, d = v Δ t Here, v is the speed of the wave, d is the distance travelled by the wave, Δ t is the time taken by the wave to travel distance d . Explanation: Calculate the distance travelled by each pulse in every tenth of a second (0.10 s). d = v Δ t Substitute 10 m/s for v and .01 s for Δ t . d = ( 10 m/s ) ( .10 s ) = 1 m So, after 0

Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).
