NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A sinusoidal wave travels along a string as described by the equation y(x, t) = 0.02 sin(3x - 15t). What is the angular frequency of this wave?

A

15 rad/s

B

3 rad/s

C

0.02 rad/s

D

5 rad/s

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The angular frequency ω of a wave is given by the term multiplied by t in the wave equation y(x, t) = 0.02 sin(3x - 15t), which is 15 rad/s.
