The displacement of a wave is expressed as $x(t) = 5 \cos \left(628 t + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) \text{ m}$. The wavelength of the wave when its velocity is $300 \text{ m/s}$ is: (in $\text{ m}$)

You have learnt that a travelling wave in one dimension is represented by a function $y=f(x, t)$ where $x$ and $t$ must appear in the combination $x-vt$ or $x+vt$,i.e.,$y=f(x \pm vt)$. Is the converse true? Examine if the following functions for $y$ can possibly represent a travelling wave:
$(a)$ $(x-vt)^2$
$(b)$ $\log[(x+vt)/x_0]$
$(c)$ $1/(x+vt)$

The figure represents the instantaneous picture of a longitudinal harmonic wave travelling along the negative $x$-axis. Identify the correct statement$(s)$ related to the movement of the points shown in the figure. The stationary points are

If the equation of a progressive wave is given by $y = 3 \cos \pi (100 t - x) \text{ cm}$,then what is the wavelength of the wave in $\text{cm}$?

The equation of a transverse wave in a stretched string is $y = 5 \sin 2\pi \left[ \frac{t}{0.04} - \frac{x}{50} \right]$,where distances are in $cm$ and time is in seconds. The wavelength of the wave is .... $cm$.

What is the phase difference between two successive crests in a wave?
