NEET Physics Wave Motion MCQ Question with Solution

Consider a wave described by the equation y(x, t) = 0.005 sin (80.0 x - 3.0 t). What is the angular frequency $\omega$ of this wave?

A

0 rad/s

B

80.0 rad/m

C

2π rad/s

D

5.0 rad/s

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The angular frequency $\omega$ is given directly in the wave equation as 3.0 rad/s, which represents the rate of oscillation of the wave.
