Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

D(y,t)=[tex]5.20 cm sin (6.40y+63.0t)[/tex]

Where y is in m and t( in sec)

Compare it with general equation of displacement of wave travelling towards left

[tex]y(x,t)=A sin(\omega t+kx)[/tex]

Then, we get A=5.2 cm,[tex]\omega=63[/tex]

[tex]k=6.40 cm[/tex]

a.We now that [tex]\nu=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}[/tex]

Where [tex]\nu[/tex]=Linear frequency

[tex]\omega[/tex]=Angular frequency

[tex]\pi[/tex]=3.14

[tex]\nu=\frac{63}{2\cdot 3.14}=10Hz[/tex]

b.[tex]k=\frac{2pi}{\lambda}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}[/tex]

Substitute the values then we get

[tex]\lambda=\frac{2\times 3.14}{6.4}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=0.98 cm[/tex]

Hence, the wavelength of the wave=0.98 cm

c.[tex]v=\nu\times \lambda[/tex]

Substitute the values then we get

[tex]v=10\times 0.98=9.8 cm/s[/tex]

Hence, the speed of the wave=9.8 cm/s

a. The frequency of the wave is [tex]10 Hz[/tex]

b. The wavelength of the wave is [tex]0.98m[/tex]

c. The speed of the wave is [tex]9.8m/s[/tex]

Equation of Wave:

The equation of the wave is,

                        [tex]D(y,t)=Asin(wt+ky)[/tex]

where,

  • D is the displacement
  • A is amplitude
  • ω is the angular frequency
  • T is the time period ,
  • k is a constant which is equal to 2πλ , where λ is the wavelength

The Displacement of wave is given by,

         [tex]D(y,t)=5.2sin(63t+6.4y)[/tex]

Compare above function from, [tex]D(y,t)=Asin(wt+ky)[/tex]

We get,[tex]A=5.2, w=63,k=6.4[/tex]

Linear frequency, [tex]\nu=\frac{w}{2\pi}=\frac{63}{2*3.14}=10Hz[/tex]

The wavelength of this wave is,

[tex]\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k} =\frac{2*3.14}{6.4} =0.98m[/tex]

The speed of this wave is, [tex]v=\nu*\lambda=10*0.98=9.8m/s[/tex]
