The equation of stationary wave is

$\mathrm{y}=2 \mathrm{a} \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{nt}}{\lambda}\right) \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{x}}{\lambda}\right)$

Which of the following is NOT correct

A

The dimensions of nt is $[L]$

B

The dimensions of $n$ is $\left[\mathrm{LT}^{-1}\right]$

C

The dimensions of $n / \lambda$ is $[T]$

D

The dimensions of $x$ is $[L]$

Solution

Comparing the given equation with standard equation of standing $\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{n}}{\lambda}=\omega \& \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}=\mathrm{k}$

${\left[\frac{\mathrm{n}}{\lambda}\right]=[\omega]=\mathrm{T}^{-1}}$

${[\mathrm{nt}]=[\lambda]=\mathrm{L}}$

${[\mathrm{n}]=[\lambda \omega]=\mathrm{LT}^{-1}}$

${[\mathrm{x}]=[\lambda]=\mathrm{L}}$

Hence option $(3)$
