The correct Answer is:
To find the velocity of the wave represented by the equation \( y = 10^{-4} \sin \left( 100t - \frac{x}{10} \right) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the parameters from the wave equation The given wave equation can be compared with the standard form of a wave equation: \[ y = A \sin(\omega t - kx) \] From the given equation \( y = 10^{-4} \sin \left( 100t - \frac{x}{10} \right) \), we can identify: - \( \omega = 100 \) (angular frequency) - \( k = \frac{1}{10} \) (wave number) ### Step 2: Calculate the frequency \( f \) The frequency \( f \) can be calculated from the angular frequency \( \omega \) using the formula: \[ f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} \] Substituting the value of \( \omega \): \[ f = \frac{100}{2\pi} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the wavelength \( \lambda \) The wavelength \( \lambda \) can be calculated from the wave number \( k \) using the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k} \] Substituting the value of \( k \): \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{1}{10}} = 20\pi \] ### Step 4: Calculate the wave velocity \( v \) The wave velocity \( v \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ v = f \cdot \lambda \] Substituting the values of \( f \) and \( \lambda \): \[ v = \left( \frac{100}{2\pi} \right) \cdot (20\pi) \] Simplifying: \[ v = \frac{100 \cdot 20\pi}{2\pi} = \frac{2000\pi}{2\pi} = 1000 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer The velocity of the wave is \( v = 1000 \, \text{m/s} \). ---
