Options

  1. A

    y=asin⁡(ωt+kx)y=a \sin (\omega t+k x)y=asin(ωt+kx)

  2. B

    y=−asin⁡(ωt+kx)y=-a \sin (\omega t+k x)y=−asin(ωt+kx)

  3. C

    y=asin⁡(ωt−kx)\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{a} \sin (\omega \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{kx})y=asin(ωt−kx)

  4. D

    y=−asin⁡(ωt−kx)\mathrm{y}=-\mathrm{a} \sin (\omega \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{kx})y=−asin(ωt−kx)
