The correct Answer is:
To find the periodic time \( T \) and the wavelength \( \lambda \) from the given equation of a stationary wave: ### Step 1: Identify the parameters from the wave equation The given wave equation is: \[ y = 0.005 \cos(62.8t + 3.14x + \frac{\pi}{3}) \] From this equation, we can identify: - Angular frequency \( \omega = 62.8 \) rad/s - Wave number \( k = 3.14 \) rad/m ### Step 2: Calculate the periodic time \( T \) The relationship between angular frequency \( \omega \) and the time period \( T \) is given by: \[ \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \] Rearranging this gives: \[ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} \] Substituting the value of \( \omega \): \[ T = \frac{2\pi}{62.8} \] Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ T = \frac{2 \times 3.14}{62.8} = \frac{6.28}{62.8} \approx 0.1 \text{ seconds} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the wavelength \( \lambda \) The relationship between wave number \( k \) and wavelength \( \lambda \) is given by: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] Rearranging this gives: \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k} \] Substituting the value of \( k \): \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{3.14} \] Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ \lambda = \frac{2 \times 3.14}{3.14} = 2 \text{ meters} \] ### Final Results - Periodic time \( T \approx 0.1 \) seconds - Wavelength \( \lambda = 2 \) meters ---
