Homework Statement
Show that the displacement D(x,t) = ln(ax+bt), where a and b are constants, is a solution to the wave function.
Homework Equations
I'm not sure which one to use:
D(x,t) = Asin(kx+ωt+φ)
∂2D/∂t2 = v2⋅∂2D/∂x2
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm completely lost on where to start with this one. I'm not sure how it's even possible, considering a wave is supposed to be an oscillating function and this solution would not give an oscillating displacement. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
