E) None of these is correct.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wave function for sound waves describes the displacement of air molecules or the density of air molecules, both of which are represented by the symbol s or ρ. The other options relate to other types of waves, such as electromagnetic waves (option C) or mechanical waves on a string (option D).

The Wave Function for Sound Waves Is A) Either the Displacement
