Question:

A wave in a string has an amplitude of 2 cm. The wave travels in the +ve direction of x axis with a speed of 128 m/sec and it is noted that 5 complete waves fit in 4 m length of the string. The equation describing the wave is

Options :

  • a) y = (0.02) m sin (7.85 x +1005 t)
  • b) y = (0.02) m sin (15.7 x-2010t)
  • c) y=(0.02) m sin (15.7x+2010t)
  • d) y=(0.02) m sin (7.85 x-1005 t)
