how to tell if a equation represents a wave or not..?
 
 
like
 
Y = 6 / X^2 + 3
 
or
 
Y = K^2  * X ^2 + W ^ 2 * t ^2
W = omega

if the equation is reducibl to form of
y=Asinwtcos kx

i believe both ur examples r not waves

A harmonic wave usually is a linear function Sin or Cosine of time and space i think.

i do not agree with prev posts..
a wave is tht which is finite for all values of x and t...thts all..nothing more..
in ur question 1st is not a wave.. 2nd is a wave
akhil is true only 4 waves which r simpl harmonic in nature

simple

just check whether the equation satisfies the classical wave equation or not....

thats  it !!!



RATE ME

all the best ...

see the classical wave equation is

d2y/dt2 = v2 . d2y/dx2

hope u got it
if not, then nudge me



do rate me

all the best ...

the equn should b of the form y=f(ax-bt) and should be defined everywhere...
