The equation of a progressive wave is \(Y=3 \sin \left[\pi\left(\frac{t}{3}-\frac{x}{5}\right)+\frac{\pi}{4}\right]\) where \(x\) and \(y\) are in meter and time in second. Which of the following is correct?

  1. A Wavelength \(=10 \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B Velocity \(=1.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  3. C Amplitude \(=3 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  4. D Frequency \(=0.2 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Wavelength \(=10 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation: \(Y=3 \sin \left[\pi\left(\frac{t}{3}-\frac{x}{5}\right)+\frac{\pi}{4}\right]\) Rewrite in standard form \(Y=A \sin(\omega t - kx + \phi)\): \(Y=3 \sin \left[\frac{\pi}{3}t-\frac{\pi}{5}x+\frac{\pi}{4}\right]\)
