The correct Answer is:
To write down the equation of a wave traveling in the negative direction along the x-axis with the given parameters, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the parameters - Amplitude (A) = 0.01 m - Frequency (f) = 550 Hz - Speed (v) = 330 m/s ### Step 2: Calculate the wavelength (λ) The wavelength can be calculated using the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{v}{f} \] Substituting the values: \[ \lambda = \frac{330 \, \text{m/s}}{550 \, \text{Hz}} = \frac{330}{550} = \frac{3}{5} \, \text{m} \] ### Step 3: Calculate angular frequency (ω) and wave number (k) - Angular frequency (ω) is given by: \[ \omega = 2\pi f \] Substituting the frequency: \[ \omega = 2\pi \times 550 = 1100\pi \, \text{rad/s} \] - Wave number (k) is given by: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] Substituting the wavelength: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{3}{5}} = \frac{2\pi \times 5}{3} = \frac{10\pi}{3} \, \text{rad/m} \] ### Step 4: Write the wave equation For a wave traveling in the negative x-direction, the general form of the wave equation is: \[ y = A \sin(\omega t + kx) \] Substituting the values of A, ω, and k: \[ y = 0.01 \sin(1100\pi t + \frac{10\pi}{3} x) \] ### Final Wave Equation Thus, the equation of the wave traveling in the negative direction along the x-axis is: \[ y = 0.01 \sin(1100\pi t + \frac{10\pi}{3} x) \] ---
