Solution

The equation of a simple harmonic progressive wave is given by, y = 5cosπ`[200t - x/150]`, where x and y are in cm and ‘t’ is in second. Then the velocity of the wave is 300 m/s.

Explanation:

y = 5cos`[200pit - pi/150x]`

y = Acos(ωt - Kx)

A = 5 cm

ω = 200π

2πf = 200π = 100 Hz

K = `pi/150 = (2pi)/lambda`

λ = 300 cm

V = fλ = `100 xx 300 xx 10^-2 = 300` m/s
