The correct option is C y(x,t)=(0.02m)sin[(2πm−1)x−(10πs−1)t]m
We start a general form for a rightward moving wave,
y(x,t)=Asin(kx−ωt+ϕ) ...(i)
The given amplitude is A=2cm=0.02m
The wavelength is given as
λ=1m
Wave number =k=2π/λ=2πm−1
Angular frequency,
ω=vk=10πrad/s
From equation (i),
y(x,t)=(0.02)sin[2π(x−5t)+ϕ]
∵ For x=0,t=0
y=0 and ∂y∂t<0
i.e. 0.02sinϕ=0 (as y=0)
and −0.2πcosϕ<0
From these conditions, we may conclude that
ϕ=2nπ, where n=0,2,4,6,…
Therefore,
y(x,t)=(0.02m)sin[(2πm−1)x−(10πs−1)t]m
