The displacement of a wave is given by y=0.004sin⁡(200t−2x)y = 0.004\sin(200t - 2x), in SI units. This wave represents a wave

Options

  1. Aof wavelength one metre.
  2. Btraveling with a velocity of 100100 m/s in the positive x-direction.
  3. Cof frequency 100100 Hz.
  4. Dtravelingwithavelocityof100πtraveling with a velocity of \dfrac{100}{\pi} m/s in negative x-direction.

Correct answer

B. traveling with a velocity of 100100 m/s in the positive x-direction.

Step-by-step solution

The standard equation of a wave traveling in the positive x-direction is y=Asin⁡(ωt−kx)y = A \sin(\omega t - kx).

The given equation is y=0.004sin⁡(200t−2x)y = 0.004 \sin(200t - 2x).

Comparing the given equation with the standard equation, we get:
ω=200\omega = 200 rad/s
k=2k = 2 rad/m

The negative sign between the tt and xx terms indicates that the wave is traveling in the positive x-direction.

The velocity of the wave is given by v=ωkv = \dfrac{\omega}{k}.

v=2002=100v = \dfrac{200}{2} = 100 m/s.

Therefore, the wave is traveling with a velocity of 100100 m/s in the positive x-direction.
