The equation of wave motion is $\mathrm{Y}=5 \sin (10 \pi \mathrm{t}$ $-0.02 \pi x+\pi / 3)$ where $x$ is in metre and $t$ in second. The velocity of the wave is
  1. $300 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  2. $400 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  3. $500 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  4. $600 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

Solution

$\therefore \quad$ Equation of Wave: $\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{A} \sin (\mathrm{kx}-\omega \mathrm{t}+\phi)$ Value of $\mathrm{k}$ : $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{k}=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \\ & \mathrm{k}=0.02 \pi \\ & \omega=10 \pi \end{aligned}$ $\therefore \quad$ Velocity of wave is $\mathrm{v}=\frac{\omega}{\mathrm{k}}$ $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{v}=\frac{10 \pi}{0.02 \pi} \\ & \mathrm{v}=500 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned}$
