The equation of a transverse wave is given by y = 10 `sin {pi (0.01 x - 2t)}` where y and x are in cm and t is in seconds. Its frequency is ………..

A

`10 s^(-1)`

B

`2 s^(-1)`

C

`1 s^(-1)`

D

`0.01 s^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Comparing with the standard equation y = `A sin (k x - omega t)` ,
we have `omega = 2pi`
Therefore , Frequency `f = (2pi)/(omega) = 1 s^(-1)`
