The displacement of a wave travelling in the \(\mathrm{x}\) direction is \(\mathrm{y}=10^{-4} \sin [600 \mathrm{t}-2 \mathrm{x}+\pi / 3] \mathrm{m}\), where \(\mathrm{x}\) is in metre and \(\mathrm{t}\) in second. The speed of the wave is

  1. A \(200 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  2. B \(300 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  3. C \(600 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  4. D \(150 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(300 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Velocity \(=\) Wavelength \(\times\) Frequency
Frequency \((f)=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi}=\frac{600}{2 \pi}\)
Wavelength \((\lambda)=\frac{2 \pi}{k}=\frac{2 \pi}{2}=\pi\)
Velocity \(=\pi \times \frac{600}{2 \pi}=300 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
