The correct Answer is:
To solve the given wave equation \( y = A \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{A}(x - bt)\right) \), we need to find the speed of the wave and its wavelength. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the wave equation format The general form of a wave equation is: \[ y = A \sin(kx - \omega t) \] where: - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( k \) is the wave number, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency. ### Step 2: Rewrite the given equation The given equation is: \[ y = A \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{A}(x - bt)\right) \] We can rewrite it in the standard form: \[ y = A \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{A}x - \frac{2\pi b}{A}t\right) \] ### Step 3: Identify \( k \) and \( \omega \) From the rewritten equation: - The coefficient of \( x \) is \( k = \frac{2\pi}{A} \) - The coefficient of \( t \) is \( \omega = \frac{2\pi b}{A} \) ### Step 4: Calculate the speed of the wave The speed of the wave \( v \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} \] Substituting the values of \( \omega \) and \( k \): \[ v = \frac{\frac{2\pi b}{A}}{\frac{2\pi}{A}} = b \] ### Step 5: Calculate the wavelength The wavelength \( \lambda \) is related to the wave number \( k \) by the formula: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] From our earlier identification, we have: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{A} \] Setting these equal gives: \[ \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} = \frac{2\pi}{A} \] Cancelling \( 2\pi \) from both sides, we find: \[ \lambda = A \] ### Final Results - The speed of the wave \( v \) is \( b \). - The wavelength \( \lambda \) is \( A \). ### Summary - Speed of the wave: \( v = b \) - Wavelength: \( \lambda = A \)

To solve the given wave equation \( y = A \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{A}(x - bt)\right) \), we need to find the speed of the wave and its wavelength. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the wave equation format The general form of a wave equation is: \[ y = A \sin(kx - \omega t) \] where: - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( k \) is the wave number, ...
