A wave is represented by the equation $y = 0.5 \sin(10t - x) \mathrm{m}$ . It is a travelling wave propagating along the + x direction with velocity
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The velocity of wave
$v = \frac{\omega (\text{Co-efficient of t})}{k (\text{Co-efficient of x})} = \frac{10}{1} = 10 \mathrm{m/s}$
