A transverse harmonic wave on a string is given by y(x, t)= 5 sin(6t + 0. 003x) where x and y are in cm and t in sec. The wave velocity is_________m s -1
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
20
(20)
The general equation for a wave can be written as 
. Comparing it with the given equation, y = 5 sin(6t + 0.003x),
= 6 rad s -l , k = 0.003 cm -1
