JEE MAIN - Physics (2003 - No. 46)

The displacement $$y$$ of a wave travelling in the $$x$$-direction is given by $$$y = {10^{ - 4}}\,\sin \left( {600t - 2x + {\pi \over 3}} \right)\,\,metres$$$
where $$x$$ is expressed in metres and $$t$$ in seconds. The speed of the wave - motion, in $$m{s^{ - 1}}$$, is
$$300$$
$$600$$
$$1200$$
$$200$$

Explanation

$$y = {10^{ - 4}}\sin \left( {600t - 2x + {\pi \over 3}} \right)$$

But $$y = A\sin \left( {\omega t - kx + \phi } \right)$$

On comparing we get $$\omega = 600;\,k = 2$$

$$v = {\omega \over k} = {{600} \over 2} = 300\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
