The correct Answer is:
To find the velocity of the standing wave represented by the equation \( y = a \sin(100t) \cos(0.01x) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the angular frequency (\( \omega \)) and wave number (\( k \)) The given wave equation is in the form: \[ y = a \sin(\omega t) \cos(kx) \] From the equation \( y = a \sin(100t) \cos(0.01x) \), we can identify: - \( \omega = 100 \) (angular frequency in radians per second) - \( k = 0.01 \) (wave number in radians per meter) ### Step 2: Use the formula for wave velocity The velocity (\( v \)) of a wave can be calculated using the formula: \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values of \( \omega \) and \( k \) Now, substituting the values we identified: \[ v = \frac{100}{0.01} \] ### Step 4: Perform the calculation Calculating the above expression: \[ v = \frac{100}{0.01} = 10000 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer The velocity of the wave is: \[ v = 10^4 \, \text{m/s} \] ---
