MCQ
Equation of the progressive wave is given by : $y = a\sin \pi (40t - x)$ where $a$ and $x$ are in metre and $t$ in second. The velocity of the wave is  ..... $m/s$
  • A
    $80$
  • B
    $10$
  • $40 $
  • D
    $20$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$40 $
c
(c) $v = \frac{{{\rm{Co - \,efficient \,of\,\, }}t}}{{{\rm{Co - efficient \,of\, }}x}} = \frac{{40}}{1} = 40\,m/s$
