The equation of a transverse wave travelling along a string is given by `y = 5 cos pi (100t - x)cm`. Its wavelength is

A

10 cm

B

5 cm

C

3 cm

D

2 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`y = 5 cos pi [100 t-x] = 5 cos [100 pi t - pi x]`
`Kx = (2pi)/(lamda) x = pi x :. Lamda = 2cm`
