What does your textbook say about 10.7 POLARISATION?
. POLARISATION Consider holding a long string that is held horizontally, the other end of which is assumed to be fixed. If we move the end of the string up and down in a periodic manner, we will generate a wave propagating in the +x direction (Fig. . ). Such a wave could be described by the following equation FIGURE . (a) The curves represent the displacement of a string at t = and at t = t, respectively when a sinusoidal wave is propagating in the +x-direction. (b) The curve represents the time variation of the displacement at x = when a sinusoidal wave is propagating in the +x-direction. At x = x, the time variation of the displacement will be slightly displaced to the right.
