Given that ` y =A sin [( ( 2pi )/( lambda ) ( ct -x))] ` ,where y and x are measured in metres. Which of the following statement is true?

A

The unit of `lambda^(-1)` is same as that of `(2pi)/(lambda)`

B

The unit of `lambda` is same as that of x but not of A

C

The unit of c is same as that of `(2pi)/(lambda)`

D

The unit of (ct - x) is same as that of `(2pi)/(lambda)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`(1)/(lambda)=K=(2pi)/(lambda)`. So unit of `lambda^(-1)` is same as that of `(2pi)/(lambda)`.
