The displacement of a particle in a medium is y=10⁻⁴ [100 t+20 x+ 3 ] m , where t is in second and x is in metre. The speed of the wave is

Step-by-step solution

The equation can be written in the form of, y=y₀ ( t+k x+ ) where, =100 / s and k=20 / m The velocity of a travelling wave is given by, v= / k Hence, substituting the values, v= 100 20 =5 ~m / s
