The expression represents a wave traveling in the
Options
- Apositive x-direction with velocity 10 m/s and with wavelength 0.4 m.
- Bnegative x-direction with velocity 10 m/s and with wavelength 0.4 m.
- Cpositive x-direction with velocity 20 m/s and with wavelength 0.6 m.
- Dnegative x-direction with velocity 20 m/s and with wavelength 0.6 m.
Correct answer
B. negative x-direction with velocity 10 m/s and with wavelength 0.4 m.
Step-by-step solution
The given wave equation is
Comparing this with the standard wave equation
rad/s
rad/m
Since the signs of and are the same, the wave is traveling in the negative x-direction.
The velocity of the wave is m/s
The wavelength is m
