To check the units of the sine argument , assign the units of each variable: is in rad/m, is in m, is in rad/s, is in s, and is in rad. Multiply the units for and to see that meters and seconds cancel out, leaving radians.
Conditions: Applies to the traveling sinusoidal wave equation .; has units rad/m.; has units m.; has units rad/s.; has units s.; has units rad.
