The equation of a progressive wave is given by, `y = 5 sin pi ((t)/(0.02) - (x)/(20))`m, then the frequency of the wave is

A

100 Hz

B

50 Hz

C

25 Hz

D

10 Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`y = 5 sin 2pi ((t)/(2 xx 0.02) - (x)/(40))`
Comparing with `y = A sin 2pi ((t)/(T) - (x)/(lamda))` we get,
`(1)/(T) = (1)/(0.04) :. n = (1)/(T) = (100)/(4) = 25 Hz`
