The displacement of a particle in a medium due to a wave travelling in the `x-`direction through the medium is given by `y = A sin(alphat - betax)`, where `t =` time, and `alpha` and `beta` are constants:

A

The frequency of the wave is `alpha`

B

The frequency of the wave is `alpha//(2pi)`

C

The wavelength is `(2pi)//beta`

D

The velocity of the wavve is `alpha//beta`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C, D

Here comparing theg iven equation withthe standard equation ofSimple Harmonic Wave `y = A sin(omegat - kx)` we can have option (B),(C), and (D) are correct
