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.
