Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFCONCEPT :
- A progressive wave is one which travels continuously in medium without a change in amplitude and direction and is given by equation is given by
⇒ Y = A Sin(Kx - ωt)
Where A = Amplitude K = Wave vector, t = time and x = distance
- Wave vector is the quantity used to represent the direction of motion and magnitude, which is given by
Where λ = Wavelength
CALCULATION :
Given y = 2 sin (314t - 2x + π/2)
- The equation of progressive wave is given by
⇒ Y = A Sin(Kx - ωt)
Comparing the given equation to the above equation
⇒ K = 2
- The wave vector is given by
- Hence, option 4 is the answer
