The correct Answer is:
To find the velocity of propagation of the wave given by the equation: \[ y = 0.02 \sin\left(2\pi\left(\frac{t}{0.01} - \frac{x}{0.30}\right)\right) \] we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the wave equation format The general form of a progressive wave is given by: \[ y = A \sin(\omega t - kx) \] where: - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, - \( k \) is the wave number. ### Step 2: Extract \( \omega \) and \( k \) From the given equation, we can rewrite it to match the standard form: \[ y = 0.02 \sin\left(2\pi \left(\frac{t}{0.01} - \frac{x}{0.30}\right)\right) \] This can be expressed as: \[ y = 0.02 \sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{0.01} - \frac{2\pi x}{0.30}\right) \] From this, we can identify: - \( \omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.01} \) - \( k = \frac{2\pi}{0.30} \) ### Step 3: Calculate \( \omega \) and \( k \) Now, let's calculate \( \omega \) and \( k \): 1. Calculate \( \omega \): \[ \omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.01} = 200\pi \, \text{rad/s} \] 2. Calculate \( k \): \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{0.30} \approx \frac{2\pi}{0.30} = \frac{20\pi}{3} \, \text{rad/m} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the velocity of the wave The velocity \( v \) of the wave is given by the formula: \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} \] Substituting the values of \( \omega \) and \( k \): \[ v = \frac{200\pi}{\frac{20\pi}{3}} = 200\pi \times \frac{3}{20\pi} \] The \( \pi \) cancels out: \[ v = \frac{200 \times 3}{20} = \frac{600}{20} = 30 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Conclusion The velocity of propagation of the wave is: \[ \boxed{30 \, \text{m/s}} \] ---
