The equation of a wave is y = 0.1 sin `(100 pi t - kx)` where x , y are in metres and t in seconds . If the velocity of the wave is 100 m/s , then the value of k is

A

`1 m^(-1)`

B

`2 m^(-1)`

C

`pi m^(-1)`

D

`2 pi m^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`v = (omega)/(k) implies k = (omega)/(v) = (100 pi)/(100) = pi m^(-1)`
