The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given wave equation and extract relevant parameters such as amplitude, wave number, angular frequency, velocity, frequency, and wavelength. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Wave Equation**: The given wave equation is: \[ y = 2\sin^2(3x + 5t) + 6 \] Here, \(y\) is the displacement in meters, \(x\) is the position in centimeters, and \(t\) is the time in seconds. 2. **Rearranging the Equation**: We can rearrange the equation to isolate the sine term: \[ y - 6 = 2\sin^2(3x + 5t) \] Dividing both sides by 2 gives: \[ \frac{y - 6}{2} = \sin^2(3x + 5t) \] 3. **Using the Identity for Sine Squared**: We can use the identity \(\sin^2(\theta) = \frac{1 - \cos(2\theta)}{2}\): \[ \sin^2(3x + 5t) = \frac{1 - \cos(2(3x + 5t))}{2} \] Substituting this into our equation: \[ \frac{y - 6}{2} = \frac{1 - \cos(6x + 10t)}{2} \] Multiplying through by 2: \[ y - 6 = 1 - \cos(6x + 10t) \] Rearranging gives: \[ \cos(6x + 10t) = 7 - y \] 4. **Identifying Wave Parameters**: From the expression \(\cos(6x + 10t)\), we can identify: - Wave number \(k = 6 \, \text{cm}^{-1}\) - Angular frequency \(\omega = 10 \, \text{s}^{-1}\) 5. **Calculating Velocity**: The velocity \(v\) of the wave can be calculated using the formula: \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} = \frac{10}{6} = \frac{5}{3} \, \text{cm/s} \] 6. **Calculating Frequency**: The frequency \(f\) can be found using the relation: \[ f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} = \frac{10}{2\pi} = \frac{5}{\pi} \, \text{Hz} \] 7. **Calculating Wavelength**: The wavelength \(\lambda\) can be calculated using: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k} = \frac{2\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{3} \, \text{cm} \] 8. **Summary of Results**: - Amplitude \(A = 1 \, \text{m}\) - Velocity \(v = \frac{5}{3} \, \text{cm/s}\) - Frequency \(f = \frac{5}{\pi} \, \text{Hz}\) - Wavelength \(\lambda = \frac{\pi}{3} \, \text{cm}\) ### Conclusion: All calculated parameters are consistent with the wave equation provided. Therefore, the correct options for the parameters of the wave are: - Amplitude: 1 m - Velocity: \( \frac{5}{3} \, \text{cm/s} \) - Frequency: \( \frac{5}{\pi} \, \text{Hz} \) - Wavelength: \( \frac{\pi}{3} \, \text{cm} \) **Final Answer**: All options A, B, C, and D are correct.
