    The equation of a wave is given by\[y=10\sin \left( \frac{2\pi }{45}t+\alpha  \right).\]If the displacement is 5 cm at \[t=0\], then the total phase at \[t=7.5\text{ }s\]is

    A)  \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]                                             

    B)  \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\pi }{6}\]                                             

    D)  \[\pi \]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[y=10\,\sin \left[ \frac{2\pi }{45}t+\alpha  \right]\] \[y=5\,cm\,at\,t=0\] \[\therefore \]                                  \[5=10\,(\sin \,\alpha )\] or                            \[\sin \alpha =\frac{1}{2}\] or                            \[\alpha =\frac{\pi }{6}\] Again if \[t=7.5\,s\] Then total phase \[=\frac{2\pi }{45}\times \frac{15}{2}+\frac{\pi }{6}\]                                 \[=\frac{\pi }{3}+\frac{\pi }{6}\]                                 \[=\frac{2\pi +\pi }{6}=\frac{3\pi }{6}=\frac{\pi }{2}\]
