The equation of a sound wave is `y=0.0015sin(62.4x+316t)` the wavelength of this wave is

A

0.2 unit

B

0.3 unit

C

0.1 unit

D

2 unit

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Equation of sound wave is y=0.0015 sin(62.4x + 316t).
Standard equation of a sound wave is `y=A sin 2pi[(x)/(lambda) +(t)/(T)]`
Comparing the given equation with the standard equation , we get
` 2pi//lambda=62.4 or , lambda =( 2 lambda )/(62.4)=0.1 unit ` ( where ` lambda`=wavelength of the wave )
