The equation of wave is Y = 6 sin ( 12 π t 0.02 π x + π 3 ) where ' x ' is in m and ' t ' in s . The velocity of the wave is

A. 200   m / s

B. 300   m / s

C. 400   m / s

D. 600   m / s

Correct Option is (D)

 Given:  y = 6 sin ( 12 π t 0.02 π x + π 3 ) ω t = 12 π t 2 π T = 12 π

T = 1 6 n = 6

Also given 2 π λ = 0.02 π

λ = 2 0.02 = 100

From equation: v = n λ , we get

v = 6 × 100 = 600   m / s

The equation of simple harmonic progressive wave is given by y = a sin 2 π ( b t c x ) . The maximum particle velocity will be half the wave velocity, if c =

A. 2 π a

B. 1 4 π a

C. 1 2 π a

D. 4 π a

Correct Option is (B)

General equation of a simple harmonic progressive wave,

y = A sin 2 π [ t T x λ ]

Given: y = a sin 2 π ( b t c x )

A = a , 1   T = b  and  1 λ = cx

Also, ( v p ) max = a ω = a ( 2 π n ) = a 2 π T

= A 2 π T = a 2 π b

From v = λ T = 1 / c 1 / b = b c

Given: ( v p ) max = 1 2 v

2 π a b = 1 2 × b c c = 1 4 π a

Equation of simple harmonic progressive wave is given by y = 1 a sin ω t ± 1 b cos ω t then the resultant amplitude of the wave is ( cos 90 = 0 )

A. a ± b a b

B. a ± b ab

C. a ± b ab

D. a + b a b

Correct Option is (D)

y = 1 a sin ω t ± 1 b sin ( ω t + π 2 )

Here phase difference = π 2

The resultant amplitude

= ( 1 a ) 2 + ( 1 b ) 2 = 1 a + 1 b = a + b a b

Equation of two simple harmonic waves are given by Y 1 = 2 sin 8 π ( t 0.2 x 2 ) m and Y 2 = 4 sin 8 π ( t 0.16 x 1.6 ) m then both waves have

A. same period

B. same frequency

C. same wavelength

D. same velocity

Correct Option is (D)

The two equations can be written as

Y 1 = 2 sin 2 π ( 4 t 0.2 4 x 2 ) = 2 sin 2 π ( t 0.05 x 0.5 )

and Y 2 = 4 sin 2 π ( 4 t 0.16 4 x 1.6 ) = 2 sin 2 π ( t 0.04 x 0.4 )

Comparing with standard equation

Y = A sin 2 π ( t T x λ )

We get, for the first wave,

T = 0.05   s  and  λ = 0.5   m

For the second wave,

T = 0.04   s  and  λ = 0.4   m

Hence their periods (hence frequencies) are not same. Their wavelength are also not same.

For first wave velocity = λ T = 0.5 0.05 = 10   m / s

For second wave velocity = 0.4 0.04 = 10   m / s

Hence velocity in same,

B. 3 π 2 rad

C. π rad

D. π 2 rad

Correct Option is (C)

n = 50   Hz , t = 0.01   s

If T is the period and phase difference is ϕ

 then,  t T = ϕ 2 π ϕ = 2 π t T = 2 π nt ϕ = 2 π × 50 × 0.01 = π   rad
