A wave travelling along the $x-$ axis is described by the equation $y\ (x, t )\ =\ 0.005\ cos\ (\alpha x - \beta t )$ . If the wavelength and the time period of the wave in $0.08\ m$ and $2.0\ s$ respectively then $\alpha $ and $\beta $ in appropriate units are

  • A

    $\alpha  = 25.00\pi ,\,\beta  = \pi $

  • B

    $\alpha  = \frac{{0.08}}{\pi },\,\beta  = \frac{{2.0}}{\pi }$

  • C

    $\alpha  = \frac{{0.04}}{\pi },\,\beta  = \frac{{1.0}}{\pi }$

  • D

    $\alpha  = 12.50\pi ,\,\beta  = \frac{\pi }{{2.0}}$
