    Given that y = A sin \[\left[ \left( \frac{2\pi }{\lambda }(ct-x \right) \right],\]where y and x are measured in metres. Which of the following statements is true?

    A) The unit of \[\lambda \] is same as that of x and A

    B) The unit of \[\left( ct-x \right)\]is same as that of x but not of A

    C) The unit of c is same as that of \[\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\]

    D) The unit of (ct - x) is same as that of \[\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\]  

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here \[\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }(ct-x)\] is dimensionless. Hence, \[\frac{ct}{\lambda }\] is also dimensionless and unit of ct is same as that of\[x\]. Therefore, unit of Us same as that of x. Also unit of y is same as that of A, which is also the unit of\[x\].
