The equation of a transverse wave travelling along a string is y(x,t)=4.0 sin [20×10–3x+600 t] mm, where x is in the mm and t is in second. The velocity of the wave is [2025]
(3)
y=4 sin (20×10–3x+600 t)
Here, ω = 600 and k = 20×10–3
∴ v=ωk=60020×10–3
=30×10+3 mm/s=30 m/s
and direction is towards –ve x-axis
∴ v = – 30 m/s
