A string is stretched along x-axis and particle at x = 0 is oscillated along y-axis according to equation y = 2(t – [t]). Where [ ] is greatest integer function. Assuming no dissipation of energy during propagation of wave and no change in wave velocity shape of string at any time is best shown by –
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
y(x, t) = 2{(t – 
) – [t – 
]}
∴ At t = 0, shape of string is given by
y (x, t = 0) = 2(– 
– [– 
])
