The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and derive the values of wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) for the transverse sinusoidal wave. ### Given: - Amplitude (A) = \(10^{-3}\) m - Velocity of wave propagation (V) = 10 m/s - Maximum speed of any point on the string = \( \frac{V}{10} = \frac{10}{10} = 1 \) m/s ### Step 1: Find the angular frequency (ω) The maximum speed of a wave particle is given by the formula: \[ v_{p_{max}} = A \omega \] Where: - \(v_{p_{max}}\) = Maximum speed of the wave particle - A = Amplitude - ω = Angular frequency Substituting the known values into the equation: \[ 1 = (10^{-3}) \cdot \omega \] Now, solve for ω: \[ \omega = \frac{1}{10^{-3}} = 10^3 \text{ rad/s} \] ### Step 2: Find the frequency (f) The angular frequency (ω) is related to frequency (f) by the equation: \[ \omega = 2 \pi f \] Rearranging for f gives: \[ f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} \] Substituting the value of ω: \[ f = \frac{10^3}{2\pi} \] ### Step 3: Find the wavelength (λ) The relationship between the wave velocity (V), frequency (f), and wavelength (λ) is given by: \[ V = f \lambda \] Rearranging for λ gives: \[ \lambda = \frac{V}{f} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \lambda = \frac{10}{\frac{10^3}{2\pi}} = 10 \cdot \frac{2\pi}{10^3} = \frac{2\pi}{10^2} = 2\pi \times 10^{-2} \text{ m} \] ### Final Answers: - Frequency (f) = \( \frac{10^3}{2\pi} \) Hz - Wavelength (λ) = \( 2\pi \times 10^{-2} \) m
