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

The equation of a plane progressive wave is given by \(y = 5\cos\pi\left(200t - \dfrac{x}{150}\right)\) where \(x\) and \(y\) are in cm and \(t\) is in second. The velocity of the wave is _______ m/s.

  1. A \(120\)
  2. B \(150\)
  3. C \(200\)
  4. D \(300\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(300\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given equation of the wave is \(y = 5\cos\pi\left(200t - \dfrac{x}{150}\right)\) Rewriting the equation, we get \(y = 5\cos\left(200\pi t - \dfrac{\pi x}{150}\right)\) Comparing this with the standard wave equation \(y = A\cos(\omega t - kx)\), we have: \(\omega = 200\pi\)…
