JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 14. waves and sound

A transverse harmonic wave on a string is given by \(y(x, t)=5 \sin (6 t+0.003 x)\) where \(x\) and \(y\) are in \(cm\) and \(t\) in \(sec\). The wave velocity is \(...........\,ms ^{-1}\).

  1. A \(10\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(30\)
  4. D \(20\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(20\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y(x, t)=5 \sin (6 t+0.003 x)\) \(k =0.003\,cm ^{-1}, \quad \omega=6\,rad / s , v =\frac{\omega}{ k }\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{6}{0.003 \times 10^2}=20\,ms ^{-1}\)
