Solution
- Given equation:
y = sin`pi/2((4"t")/0.025 - "x"/0.25)`
y = sin`((2pi"t")/0.025 - (pi"x")/0.5)`
Comparing above equation with y = A sin`(ω"t" - (2pi"x")/λ)`
∴ A = 1 m - ω = `(2pi)/0.025`
∴ 2πn = `(2pi)/0.025`
∴ n = 40 Hz - `(2pi)/λ = pi/0.5`
∴ λ = 1 m - v = nλ
= 40 × 1
= 40 m/s
The amplitude, frequency, wavelength, and velocity of the wave are 1 m, 40 Hz, 1 m, and 40 m/s respectively.
