When a wave travels in a medium,the particle displacement is given by $y(x, t) = 0.03 \sin \pi (2t - 0.01x)$,where $y$ and $x$ are in meters and $t$ is in seconds. The phase difference,at a given instant of time,between two particles $25 \ m$ apart in the medium is:

$A$ wave with a frequency of $100 \, Hz$ has a velocity of $10 \, m/s$. What is the phase difference between two particles separated by a distance of $2.5 \, cm$?

The maximum particle velocity in a wave motion is half the wave velocity. Then the amplitude of the wave is equal to

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 number of waves contained in unit length of the medium is called
