Question
In the given progressive wave $​​​​\text{y}=5\sin(100\pi\text{t+0.4x})$ where y and x are in m, t is in s. What is the:Frequency

Answer

Standard form of progressive wave travelling in $+\text{x}$ direction (kx and $\omega\text{}t$ have opposite sign is given) Eqn. is $\text{y}=\text{a}\sin(\omega\text{t}-\text{kx}+\phi)$$\text{y}=5\sin(100\pi\text{t}-0.4\pi\text{t}+0)$
Frequency $\text{v},\omega=2\pi\text{v}\Rightarrow\text{v}=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}\because\omega=100\pi$$\therefore\text{v}=\frac{100\pi}{2\pi}=50\text{Hz}$
