AIPMT PRELIMS 2002 Physics Wave Equation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A wave travelling in positive X⁻direction with A = 0.2 m velocity = 360 m/s and λ = 60 m, then correct expression for the wave is :-

A

y = 0.2 sin [2π (6t + x/60)]

B

y = 0.2 sin [π (6t + x/60)]

C

y = 0.2 sin [2π (6t − x/60)]

D

y = 0.2 sin [π(6t − x/60)]

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The wave equation is y = A sin(2π/λ (vt − x)). Substituting the given values, y = 0.2 sin [2π (6t − x/60)].
