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

A transverse wave on a string is described by \(y = 3\sin(36t + 0.018x + \pi/4)\), where \(x, y\) are in cm and \(t\) in seconds. The least distance between the two successive crests in the wave is _____ cm. (Nearest integer)
(\(\pi = 3.14\))

  1. A 349
  2. B 379
  3. C 385
  4. D 394
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 349

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The standard equation of a transverse wave is given by \(y = A\sin(\omega t + kx + \phi)\) Comparing this with the given equation \(y = 3\sin(36t + 0.018x + \pi/4)\), we get the wave number \(k = 0.018 \text{ cm}^{-1}\). The least distance between two successive crests is the…
