The displacement y of a wave travelling ...

The displacement y of a wave travelling in the x direction is given by `y=(2 xx 10^(-3)) sin(300t - 2x + pi/4)`, where x and y are measured in metres and t in second. The speed of the wave is

A

`150 ms^(-1)`

B

`300 ms^(-1)`

C

`450 ms^(-1)`

D

`600 ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
From standard equation of wave, `y= a sin(omegat - kx + phi)`
`omega = 300 , k=2`
Speed of wave `, V= (omega)/K = (300)/2 = 150 ms^(-1)`
