  • question_answer
    A wave is given by \[y=3\sin 2\pi \left( \frac{t}{0.04}-\frac{x}{0.01} \right)\], where y is in cm. Frequency of wave and maximum acceleration of particle will be                                                               [RPET 1997]

    A)            \[100\,Hz,\ 4.7\times {{10}^{3}}\,cm/{{s}^{2}}\]

    B)            \[50\,Hz,\ 7.5\times {{10}^{3}}\,cm/{{s}^{2}}\]

    C)            \[25\,Hz,\ 4.7\times {{10}^{4}}\,cm/{{s}^{2}}\]         

    D)            \[25\,Hz,\ 7.4\times {{10}^{4}}\,cm/{{s}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                Comparing the given equation with standard equation \[y=a\sin 2\pi \,\left( \frac{t}{T}-\frac{x}{\lambda } \right)\]Þ T = 0.04 sec Þ \[\nu =\frac{1}{T}=25Hz\] Also \[{{(A)}_{\max }}={{\omega }^{2}}a={{\left( \frac{2\pi }{T} \right)}^{2}}\times a={{\left( \frac{2\pi }{0.04} \right)}^{2}}\times 3\] =7.4 ´ 104 cm/sec2.
