The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to analyze the equation of the progressive wave provided: **Given Equation:** \[ y = 4 \sin \left[ \pi \left( \frac{t}{5} - \frac{x}{9} \right) + \frac{\pi}{6} \right] \] ### Step 1: Identify the General Form The general form of a progressive wave can be expressed as: \[ y = A \sin(\omega t - kx + \phi) \] where: - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, - \( k \) is the wave number, - \( \phi \) is the phase constant. ### Step 2: Compare the Given Equation with the General Form From the given equation, we can rewrite it as: \[ y = 4 \sin \left( \pi \cdot \frac{t}{5} - \pi \cdot \frac{x}{9} + \frac{\pi}{6} \right) \] Now, we can identify: - Amplitude \( A = 4 \) - Angular frequency \( \omega = \pi \cdot \frac{1}{5} = \frac{\pi}{5} \) - Wave number \( k = \pi \cdot \frac{1}{9} = \frac{\pi}{9} \) - Phase constant \( \phi = \frac{\pi}{6} \) ### Step 3: Calculate the Wavelength The wave number \( k \) is related to the wavelength \( \lambda \) by the equation: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] Substituting the value of \( k \): \[ \frac{\pi}{9} = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] To find \( \lambda \), rearranging gives: \[ \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{\pi}{9}} = 2 \cdot 9 = 18 \text{ meters} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Velocity of the Wave The velocity \( v \) of the wave is given by: \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} \] Substituting the values of \( \omega \) and \( k \): \[ v = \frac{\frac{\pi}{5}}{\frac{\pi}{9}} = \frac{9}{5} = 1.8 \text{ meters/second} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Frequency of the Wave The frequency \( f \) can be calculated using: \[ f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} \] Substituting the value of \( \omega \): \[ f = \frac{\frac{\pi}{5}}{2\pi} = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1 \text{ Hz} \] ### Summary of Results - Amplitude \( A = 4 \) meters - Wavelength \( \lambda = 18 \) meters - Velocity \( v = 1.8 \) meters/second - Frequency \( f = 0.1 \) Hz ### Conclusion After comparing the calculated values with the options provided in the question, we can determine which option is correct.

To solve the given problem, we need to analyze the equation of the progressive wave provided: **Given Equation:** \[ y = 4 \sin \left[ \pi \left( \frac{t}{5} - \frac{x}{9} \right) + \frac{\pi}{6} \right] \] ### Step 1: Identify the General Form The general form of a progressive wave can be expressed as: \[ y = A \sin(\omega t - kx + \phi) \] ...
