Consider a wave rpresented by `y= a cos^(2) (omega t-kx)` where symbols have their usual meanings. This wave has

A

an amplitude `a`, frequency `omega`, and wavelength `lambda`.

B

an amplitude `a`, frequency `2omega`, and wabvelength `2lambda`.

C

an amplitude `a//2` frequency `2omega` and wavelength `lambda//2`.

D

am amplitude `a//2` frequency `2omega`, and wavelength `lambda`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

`y=a[(1+cos(2omegat-2kx))/(2)]`
`y=(a)/(2)+(a)/(2)cos(2omegat-2kx)`
