The correct Answer is:
To solve the given wave equation \( y = 10^{-4} \sin(60t + 2x) \), we will analyze the parameters of the wave step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the wave parameters The general form of a wave traveling in the negative x-direction is given by: \[ y = A \sin(\omega t + kx) \] where: - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, - \( k \) is the wave number. From the given equation \( y = 10^{-4} \sin(60t + 2x) \), we can identify: - Amplitude \( A = 10^{-4} \) - Angular frequency \( \omega = 60 \) - Wave number \( k = 2 \) ### Step 2: Calculate the wave velocity The wave velocity \( v \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} \] Substituting the values of \( \omega \) and \( k \): \[ v = \frac{60}{2} = 30 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the wavelength The wavelength \( \lambda \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k} \] Substituting the value of \( k \): \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{2} = \pi \, \text{m} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the frequency The frequency \( f \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} \] Substituting the value of \( \omega \): \[ f = \frac{60}{2\pi} = \frac{30}{\pi} \, \text{Hz} \] ### Summary of Results - Amplitude \( A = 10^{-4} \) - Wave velocity \( v = 30 \, \text{m/s} \) - Wavelength \( \lambda = \pi \, \text{m} \) - Frequency \( f = \frac{30}{\pi} \, \text{Hz} \) ### Conclusion All four options given in the question are correct: 1. The wave travels with a velocity of 30 m/s in the negative x-direction. 2. The wavelength is \( \pi \, \text{m} \). 3. The frequency is \( \frac{30}{\pi} \, \text{Hz} \). 4. The amplitude is \( 10^{-4} \).
