The equation of a simple harmonic progressive wave travelling on a string is \( y=8 \sin (0.02 x-4 t) cm \). The speed of the wave is 

Answer»

Given equation y(x, t) = 8 sin(0.02x - 4t) cm

comparing this y(x, t) = A sin(kx - ωt + ϕ) equation.

then

A = 8,  k = 0.02, ω = 4

\(\lambda=\frac{2\pi}k\) 

\(\lambda=\frac{2\pi\times100}2\)

\(\lambda=100\pi\,cm\) 

f = \(\frac{\omega}{2\pi}\) 

f = \(\frac{4}{2\pi}\) 

f = \(\frac2{\pi}\) Hz

speed of wave v = \(\lambda f\)

 = 100 π x \(\frac2{\pi}\) 

v = 200 cm/s
