The correct Answer is:
To analyze the wave represented by the equation \( y = A \sin(10\pi x + 15\pi t + \frac{\pi}{6}) \), we will break down the equation step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the wave equation format The standard wave equation is given by: \[ y = A \sin(kx - \omega t + \phi) \] where: - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( k \) is the wave number, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, - \( \phi \) is the phase constant. ### Step 2: Compare the given equation with the standard form The given equation is: \[ y = A \sin(10\pi x + 15\pi t + \frac{\pi}{6}) \] We can rewrite it in the standard form by recognizing that: - The term \( 10\pi x \) corresponds to \( kx \), - The term \( 15\pi t \) corresponds to \( -\omega t \). This means that the wave is moving in the negative x direction because of the positive sign in front of \( \omega t \). ### Step 3: Determine the wave number \( k \) and angular frequency \( \omega \) From the equation: - \( k = 10\pi \) - \( \omega = 15\pi \) ### Step 4: Calculate the wave velocity \( v \) The velocity of the wave can be calculated using the formula: \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} \] Substituting the values: \[ v = \frac{15\pi}{10\pi} = \frac{15}{10} = 1.5 \text{ m/s} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the wavelength \( \lambda \) The wavelength can be found using the relation: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] Substituting for \( k \): \[ 10\pi = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] Solving for \( \lambda \): \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{10\pi} = \frac{2}{10} = 0.2 \text{ m} \] ### Conclusion The expression represents a wave traveling in the negative x direction with a velocity of \( 1.5 \text{ m/s} \) and a wavelength of \( 0.2 \text{ m} \). ---
