The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given wave equation and extract the relevant parameters: amplitude, frequency, wavelength, and velocity. The wave equation provided is: \[ y = 4 \sin\left(2\pi\left(\frac{t}{0.02} - \frac{x}{100}\right)\right) \] ### Step 1: Identify the Amplitude The amplitude \( a \) is the coefficient in front of the sine function. From the equation: - Amplitude \( a = 4 \, \text{cm} \) ### Step 2: Identify the Frequency The general form of the wave equation is: \[ y = a \sin(2\pi f t - kx) \] Where: - \( f \) is the frequency - \( k \) is the wave number From the equation, we can see that: \[ 2\pi f = \frac{1}{0.02} \] To find the frequency \( f \): \[ f = \frac{1}{0.02 \cdot 2\pi} = \frac{1}{0.02} = 50 \, \text{Hz} \] ### Step 3: Identify the Wavelength The wave number \( k \) is given by: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] From the equation, we can see that: \[ k = \frac{1}{100} \] To find the wavelength \( \lambda \): \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k} = 100 \, \text{cm} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Velocity The velocity \( v \) of the wave can be calculated using the formula: \[ v = f \cdot \lambda \] Substituting the values we found: \[ v = 50 \, \text{Hz} \cdot 100 \, \text{cm} = 5000 \, \text{cm/s} \] ### Step 5: Evaluate the Options Now we need to check the options provided in the question: 1. Amplitude is 4 cm (True) 2. Wavelength is 100 cm (True) 3. Frequency is 50 Hz (True) 4. Velocity of propagation is 2 cm/s (False) ### Conclusion The statement that is not true is that the velocity of propagation is 2 cm/s. The correct velocity is 5000 cm/s. ### Final Answer The option that is not true is: **Velocity of propagation is 2 cm/s.** ---
