    If the equation of motion of a standing wave is \[y=0.3\sin (314t-1.57x)\]. Then the velocity of standing wave is

    A) \[400\,\,m/s\]                  

    B) \[250\,\,m/s\]

    C) \[100\,\,m/s\]                  

    D) \[200\,\,m/s\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Here: Equation of standing wave                 \[y=0.3\sin (314t-1.57x)\]                 \[y=0.3\sin 2\pi \left( \frac{314t}{2\pi }-\frac{1.57x}{2\pi } \right)\] or            \[y=\frac{0.30}{100}\sin 2\pi \left( 50t-\frac{v}{4} \right)\]            ... (1) The standard equation of standing wave is                 \[y=a\sin 2\pi \left( \frac{t}{T}-\frac{x}{\lambda } \right)\]                           ... (2) Comparing the given equation (1) with the standard equation (2) we obtain or            \[\frac{1}{T}=50\] and \[\lambda =4\] Hence, the velocity of wave is given by \[v=n\,\,\lambda =\frac{1}{T}\times \lambda =50\times 4=200\,\,m/s\]
