The displacement of a particle is given by $y = 5 \times 10^{-4} \sin(100t - 50x)$ , where x is in meter and t in sec, find out the velocity of the wave
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
$\mathrm{v} = \frac{\text{Co-efficient of t}}{\text{Co-efficient of x}} = \frac{100}{50} = 2 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{sec} .$
