QAIPMT-2008-Ph-2249: NEET 2008 Physics - Class 11 AIPMT-2008-Ph-2249 Solution: The wave described by \(y=0.25 (10 x-2 t)\), where x and y are…
The wave described by , where x and y are in metres and t in seconds, is a wave travelling along the
Multiple Choice Options
- A +ve x direction with frequency 1 Hz and wavelength m.
- B -ve x direction with amplitude 0.25 m and wavelength m.
- C -ve x direction with frequency 1 Hz.
- D +ve x direction with frequency Hz and wavelength m.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
y = 0.25sin(10 � x � 2 � t)
y max = 0.25
k = 2 � _ = 10 � _ _ = 0.2 m
_ = 2 � f = 2 � _ f = 1 H z
The sign is negative inside the bracket. Therefore this wave travels in the positive x-direction.
