In the equation : y=a sin (omega t - kx)...

In the equation : `y=a sin (omega t - kx),` t and x stand for time and distnace respectively. Obtain the dimensional formula for `omega` and k.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

An angle is a dimensionless quantity,
`therefore [omegat]=1 or [omega]=(1)/([t])=(1)/(T)=T^(-1)`
`[kx]=1 or [k]=(1)/([x])=(1)/(L)=L^(-1)`
