Find the wrong statement form the following about the equation of stationary wave given by Y = 0.04 cos π x sin 50 π t m where t is in second. Then for the stationary wave.
Options
- ATime Period = 0.02s
- BWavelength = 2 m
- CVelocity = 50 m/s
- DAmplitude = 0.02 m
Correct answer
A. Time Period = 0.02s
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea – The displacement of a wave in term of time period is given by y = A s i n 2 π t T - x λ This equation in terms of speed of wave (v), Becomes y = A s i n 2 π λ v t - x The given equation of wave is y = 0.04 cos π x sin 50 π t = 0.02 sin 50 π t + π x + 0.02 sin 50 π t - π x ∵ 2 s i n A . c o s B = sin A + B . cos A - B Thus, the given wave is the combination of two waves, y 1 = 0.02 sin 50 π t + π x i n - v e x - d i r e c t i o n and y 2 = 0.02 sin 50 π t - π x (in + v e x-direction) Compa
