The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to extract the frequency \( n \) and the wavelength \( \lambda \) from the given wave equation: ### Given Wave Equation: \[ y = A \sin\left(314 \left(\frac{t}{0.5 \, \text{s}} - \frac{x}{100 \, \text{m}}\right)\right) \] ### Step 1: Identify the Angular Frequency \( \omega \) The angular frequency \( \omega \) is the coefficient of \( t \) in the wave equation. We can express it as: \[ \omega = 314 \, \text{(from the equation)} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Frequency \( n \) The relationship between angular frequency \( \omega \) and frequency \( n \) is given by: \[ \omega = 2\pi n \] We can rearrange this to find \( n \): \[ n = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} \] Substituting the value of \( \omega \): \[ n = \frac{314}{2\pi} \] Calculating this value: \[ n \approx \frac{314}{6.28} \approx 50 \, \text{Hz} \] ### Step 3: Identify the Wave Number \( k \) The wave number \( k \) is the coefficient of \( x \) in the wave equation. It can be expressed as: \[ k = \frac{314}{100} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Wavelength \( \lambda \) The relationship between wave number \( k \) and wavelength \( \lambda \) is given by: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] Rearranging this gives: \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k} \] Substituting the value of \( k \): \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{314}{100}} \] Calculating this value: \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi \cdot 100}{314} \approx \frac{628.32}{314} \approx 2 \, \text{m} \] ### Final Results: - Frequency \( n \approx 50 \, \text{Hz} \) - Wavelength \( \lambda \approx 2 \, \text{m} \) ### Summary: The frequency \( n \) is approximately \( 50 \, \text{Hz} \) and the wavelength \( \lambda \) is \( 2 \, \text{m} \). ---
