Travelling Wave Equation -

$y=A \sin \left ( Kx-\omega t \right )$

- wherein

$K=2\pi /\lambda$

$\omega = \frac{2\pi }{T}$

$\lambda =$ wave length

$T =$ Time period of oscillation

$y=A\sin(kx-wt+\phi)$

at $x=0, t=0, y=0$

and slope is negative

$\Rightarrow \phi=\pi$

Option 1)

$0$

Option 2)

$-\frac{\pi}{2}$

Option 3)

$\frac{\pi}{2}$

Option 4)

$\pi$
