    In a sinusoidal wave, the time required for a particular point, to move from maximum displacement to zero displacement is 0.170 s. The frequency of the wave is:                                                                         [AIPMT 1998]

    A) 1.47 Hz 

    B)                   0.36 Hz

    C)  0.73 Hz          

    D)  2.94 Hz

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    If T is the time period, then time required for a point to move from maximum displacement is zero displacement is \[\frac{T}{4}\].
    \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{T}{4}=0.170\]
    or         \[T=0.170\times 4=0.680\,s\]
    Therefore, the frequency of wave is
    \[n=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.680}=1.47\,Hz\]
