The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the wave equation given and extract the required parameters. Given wave equation: \[ y = (10 \, \text{mm}) \sin\left[(5\pi \, \text{cm}^{-1})x - (60\pi \, \text{s}^{-1})t + \frac{\pi}{4}\right] \] ### Step 1: Identify the Amplitude The amplitude \( A \) is the coefficient in front of the sine function. **Solution:** \[ A = 10 \, \text{mm} \] ### Step 2: Identify the Wave Number The wave number \( k \) is the coefficient of \( x \) in the argument of the sine function. **Solution:** \[ k = 5\pi \, \text{cm}^{-1} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Wavelength The wavelength \( \lambda \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k} \] **Solution:** \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{5\pi} = \frac{2}{5} \, \text{cm} = 0.4 \, \text{cm} \] ### Step 4: Identify the Angular Frequency The angular frequency \( \omega \) is the coefficient of \( t \) in the argument of the sine function. **Solution:** \[ \omega = 60\pi \, \text{s}^{-1} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Frequency The frequency \( f \) can be calculated using the relationship: \[ \omega = 2\pi f \] **Solution:** \[ f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} = \frac{60\pi}{2\pi} = 30 \, \text{Hz} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Time Period The time period \( T \) is the reciprocal of the frequency. **Solution:** \[ T = \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{30} \, \text{s} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Wave Velocity The wave velocity \( v \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} \] **Solution:** \[ v = \frac{60\pi}{5\pi} = 12 \, \text{cm/s} \] ### Step 8: Identify the Phase Constant of SHM at \( x = 0 \) The phase constant \( \phi \) is the constant term in the argument of the sine function. **Solution:** At \( x = 0 \): \[ \phi = \frac{\pi}{4} \] ### Summary of Results: (a) Amplitude \( A = 10 \, \text{mm} \) (b) Wave number \( k = 5\pi \, \text{cm}^{-1} \) (c) Wavelength \( \lambda = 0.4 \, \text{cm} \) (d) Frequency \( f = 30 \, \text{Hz} \) (e) Time period \( T = \frac{1}{30} \, \text{s} \) (f) Wave velocity \( v = 12 \, \text{cm/s} \) (g) Phase constant at \( x = 0 \) \( \phi = \frac{\pi}{4} \)
