MCQ
A wave travelling in the $+ve$ $x-$ direction having displacement along $y-$ direction as $1\,\, m,$ wavelength $2\pi\,\, m$ and frequency of $\frac{1}{\pi}$ $Hz$ is represented by
  • $y= sin(x-2t)$
  • B
    $y= sin(2$ $\pi $$x-2$$\pi $$t)$
  • C
    $y= sin(10$$\pi $$x-2$$0\pi $$t)$
  • D
    $y= sin(2$$\pi $$x+2$$\pi $$t)$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$y= sin(x-2t)$
a
The standard equation of a wave travelling along $+ve $ $x -direction$ is given by

$y=A \sin (k x-\omega t)$

where

$A=$ Amplitude of the wave

$k=$ angular wave number

$\omega=$angular frequency of the wave

Given: $A=1 \mathrm{m}, \lambda=2 \pi \mathrm{m}, \quad v=\frac{1}{\pi} \mathrm{Hz}$

As $\quad k=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}=\frac{2 \pi}{2 \pi}=1$

$\omega=2 \pi v=2 \pi \times \frac{1}{\pi}=2$

$\therefore$ The equation of the given wave is

$y=1 \sin (1 x-2 t)=\sin (x-2 t)$
