To find the dimension of \( k \) in the wave equation \( Y = A \sin \left( \omega \left( \frac{x}{v} - k \right) \right) \), we need to ensure that the argument of the sine function is dimensionless. Let's break down the solution step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the Argument of the Sine Function The argument of the sine function is given by: \[ \omega \left( \frac{x}{v} - k \right) \] For this entire expression to be dimensionless, both \( \frac{x}{v} \) and \( k \) must have the same dimensions. ...
