17: Light Waves
- #3The equation of a light wave is written as
y=A sinkx-ωt. Here, y represents
(a) displacement of ether particles
(b) pressure in the medium
(c) density of the medium
(d) electric fielddigAnsr: dAns : (d) electric field
Light consists of mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. So, the equation of a light wave is represented by its field vector.
