Dear student
Progressive wave is a type of transverse wave . which can propagate easily in string where y (x, t) is displacement
a is amplitude
w is angular frequency or velocity
k is phase constant
@ initial phase
A wave which travels continuously in a medium in the same direction without any change in its amplitude is called aprogressive wave or a traveling wave. Aprogressive wave may be transverse or longitudinal in nature.Suppose that a planesimple harmonic wave travels from origin O along the positive direction of X-axis
The equation for progressive wave is=kx-ωt={2π/(Lambda)}(x-vt).
