Question
A travelling harmonic wave is represented by the equation $y(x, t)=10^{-3} \sin (50 t+2 x)$, where $x$ and $y$ are in meter and $t$ is in seconds. Which of the following is a correct statement about the wave?
Select the correct option:
A
The wave is propagating along the negative $x$-axis with speed $25 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$.
B
The wave is propagating along the positive $x$-axis with speed $100 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$.
C
The wave is propagating along the negative $x$-axis with speed $100 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$.
D
The wave is propagating along the positive $x$-axis with speed $25 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$.
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
$y(x, t)=10^{-3} \sin (50 t+2 x) \Rightarrow v=\frac{\omega}{v}=\frac{50}{2}=25 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$
