NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12
A sinusoidal wave is propagating along a stretched string in the +x direction. If the wave equation is given by y(x,t) = a sin(kx - ωt), what is the wavelength of the wave if k = 2π/λ?
A
λ = 2π/k
B
λ = k/2π
C
λ = 2π/ω
D
λ = ω/2π
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The wave number k is defined as 2π/λ, where λ is the wavelength. Solving for λ gives λ = 2π/k.
