Wave Equation Solution: v = w/k | y(x,t) = Ae^(i(kx-wt))

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on demonstrating that the wave equation is satisfied by the solution y(x,t) = Ae^(i(kx-wt)) when the relationship v = w/k holds true. Participants are instructed to calculate the derivatives of y(x,t) and substitute them into the wave equation to verify the solution. A participant acknowledges a misunderstanding of the problem but expresses gratitude for the clarification. The importance of correctly interpreting the relationship between velocity, angular velocity, and wave number is emphasized. Overall, the thread revolves around solving the wave equation using the specified parameters.

Homework Statement



Show that, as long as v = w/k, the wave equation is solved by

y(x,t) = Ae^(i(kx-wt))

v=velocity
w=angular velocity
k=wave number

You have just to calculate the derivatives of y(x,t) and plug them in the wave equation.
 
oh! i just read the problem wrong! sorry about that. thank you.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
