The correct Answer is:
To find the correct expression for the wave traveling in the positive X-direction, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the wave equation The standard form of a wave traveling in the positive x-direction is given by: \[ y = A \sin(\omega t - kx) \] where: - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, - \( k \) is the wave number. ### Step 2: Calculate the wave number \( k \) The wave number \( k \) is calculated using the formula: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] Given \( \lambda = 60 \, m \): \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{60} = \frac{\pi}{30} \, \text{m}^{-1} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the frequency \( f \) The frequency \( f \) can be found using the relationship between velocity \( v \), wavelength \( \lambda \), and frequency: \[ v = f \lambda \] Rearranging gives: \[ f = \frac{v}{\lambda} \] Given \( v = 36 \, m/s \): \[ f = \frac{36}{60} = 0.6 \, Hz \] ### Step 4: Calculate the angular frequency \( \omega \) The angular frequency \( \omega \) is related to the frequency \( f \) by the formula: \[ \omega = 2\pi f \] Substituting the value of \( f \): \[ \omega = 2\pi \times 0.6 = 1.2\pi \, \text{rad/s} \] ### Step 5: Substitute values into the wave equation Now we can substitute the values of \( A \), \( \omega \), and \( k \) into the wave equation: \[ y = 0.2 \sin(1.2\pi t - \frac{\pi}{30} x) \] ### Final Expression Thus, the correct expression for the wave is: \[ y = 0.2 \sin(1.2\pi t - \frac{\pi}{30} x) \]
