Travelling wave
Question

The displacement y of a particle in a medium can be expressed as y=10-6sin100t+20x+π4 m  where t is in second and x in metre. The speed of the wave is

Easy
Solution

As given  y=10-6sin100t+20x+π4-------1
Equation 1 comparing it with y=asin(ωt+kx+φ)  we obtain  ω=100rads-1,K=20m-1
Speed of wave V=ωK=10020=5ms-1 .
