The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given wave equation and derive the necessary parameters step by step. ### Given Wave Equation: \[ y = 0.02 \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} + 50\pi t\right) \cos(10\pi x) \] ### Step 1: Identify the Wave Number (k) The wave number \( k \) is given by the coefficient of \( x \) in the cosine term: \[ k = 10\pi \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Wavelength (λ) The relationship between the wave number and wavelength is given by: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] Substituting the value of \( k \): \[ 10\pi = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] To find \( \lambda \), rearranging gives: \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{10\pi} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2 \text{ m} \] ### Step 3: Determine the Nodes Nodes occur where the displacement \( y \) is zero. This happens when: \[ \cos(10\pi x) = 0 \] The cosine function is zero at: \[ 10\pi x = \frac{\pi}{2} + n\pi \quad (n \in \mathbb{Z}) \] Solving for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{n}{10} \] For \( n = 0 \): \[ x = 0.05 \text{ m} \] For \( n = 1 \): \[ x = 0.15 \text{ m} \] Thus, nodes occur at \( x = 0.15 \text{ m} \). ### Step 4: Determine the Antinodes Antinodes occur where the cosine term is at its maximum (1). This happens when: \[ \cos(10\pi x) = 1 \] This occurs at: \[ 10\pi x = 2n\pi \quad (n \in \mathbb{Z}) \] Solving for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{n}{5} \] For \( n = 0 \): \[ x = 0 \text{ m} \] For \( n = 1 \): \[ x = 0.2 \text{ m} \] For \( n = 2 \): \[ x = 0.4 \text{ m} \] Thus, antinodes occur at \( x = 0.3 \text{ m} \). ### Step 5: Calculate the Speed of the Wave (v) The speed of the wave is given by: \[ v = \frac{\text{Coefficient of } t}{\text{Coefficient of } x} \] From the equation: - Coefficient of \( t \) is \( 50\pi \) - Coefficient of \( x \) is \( 10\pi \) Thus: \[ v = \frac{50\pi}{10\pi} = 5 \text{ m/s} \] ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: 1. The wavelength \( \lambda \) is \( 0.2 \text{ m} \) (correct). 2. A node occurs at \( x = 0.15 \text{ m} \) (correct). 3. An antinode occurs at \( x = 0.3 \text{ m} \) (correct). 4. The speed of the wave is \( 5 \text{ m/s} \) (correct). ### Final Statements - The first three statements are correct. - The speed of the wave is \( 5 \text{ m/s} \).
