A wave travelling in positive X-direction with $A = 0.2\,m$ has a velocity of 360 m/sec. if $\lambda = 60 \, m,$ then correct expression for the wave is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
A wave travelling in positive x-direction may be represented as $y = A \sin \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} (vt - x).$ .
On putting values $y = 0.2 \sin \frac{2 \pi}{60} (360 t - x)$
⇒ ⇒ $y = 0.2 \sin 2 \pi \left( 6t - \frac{x}{60} \right)$
