14.Waves and Sound
easy
A transverse harmonic wave on a string is described by $y = 3 \sin \,(36t + 0.018x + \frac{\pi}{4})$ where $x$ and $y$ are in $cm$ and $t$ in $s$. The least distance between two sucessive crests in the wave is .... $m$
A
$2.5$
B
$3.5$
C
$1.5$
D
$4.5$
Solution
$\mathrm{k}=.018$
$\lambda=2 \pi / \mathrm{k}=\frac{2 \pi}{.018}=348.88=3.5 \mathrm{\,m}$
