Given the wave function (in SI units) for a wave to be `Psi_(x,t)=10^3 sin pi (3 xx 10^6 x–9 xx 10^(14)t).` The speed of wave is

A

`9 xx 10^(14)ms^(-1)`

B

`3 xx 10^(8)ms^(-1)`

C

`3 xx 10^(6)ms^(-1)`

D

`3 xx 10^(7)ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`Psi_(x,t)=10^(3) sin pi(3 xx 10^6 x-9 xx 10^(14) t)=10^(3) sin 3 xx 10^(6) pi (x-3 xx 10^(8) t)`
Comparing it with the relation `Psi_(x,t)=a sin ""(2pi)/lambda (x-ct)`
