The equation of a progressive wave is ...

The equation of a progressive wave is
`y=0.02sin2pi[(t)/(0.01)-(x)/(0.30)]`
here x and y are in metres and t is in seconds. The velocity of propagation of the wave is

A

`300 m//s`

B

`30 m//s`

C

`400 m//s`

D

`40 m//s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
`omega=(2pi)/(0.01)` and `k=(2pi)/(0.30)`
`v=(omega)/(k)=(2pi)/(0.01)xx(0.30)/(2pi)=30 m//s`
