    The 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 field
    digAnsr:   d
    Ans : (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.
