A wave travelling in the +ve X-direction having maximum displacement along Y-direction as 1 m, wavelength `2pi` m and frequency `1/pi` and initial phase zero is represented by .....

A

`y = sin (2pi x 0 2pit )`

B

`y = sin (10 pi x -20pi t )`

C

`y = sin (2pi x + 2pit)`

D

`y = sin (2t -x)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

We have, `y =a sin (omega t - kx + phi)`
`therefore y = a sin (2pi f t -(2pi)/( lamda) x + phi)`
`therefore y = 1 xx sin (2pi xx (1)/(pi) xx t - (2pi)/(2pi) x + 0)`
`therefore y = sin (2t -x)`
