A transverse wave is represented by the equation \(y=2 \sin (30 t-40 x)\) and the measurements of distances are in meters, then the velocity of propagation is

  1. A \(15\ ms{-1}\)
  2. B \(0.75\ ms{-1}\)
  3. C \(3.75\ ms{-1}\)
  4. D \(300\ ms{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.75\ ms{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have \(y=2 \sin (30 t-40 x)\) The standard transverse wave is \(y=A \sin (\omega t-k x)\) So, \(\omega=30\) and \(k=40\) On comparing, we get \(v=\frac{\omega}{k}=\frac{30}{40}=0.75 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
