Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.1\) unit

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

General equation of plane prograssive wave is given by
\(
y=a \sin (k x+\omega t)
\)
Given equation
\(
y=0.0015 \sin (62.4 x+316 t) \quad \text { ...(ii) }
\)
Comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
k &=62.4 \\
\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} &=62.4 \\
\lambda &=\frac{2 \pi}{62.4}=0.1 \text { unit }
\end{aligned}
