Solution

The correct option is C $A = 0.15 m, f = 15 H z, v = 150 m / s, λ = 10 m$
$y = 0.15 s i n [2 π (15 t - \frac{x}{10})] = 0.15 s i n [30 π (t - \frac{x}{150})]$
Comparing with standard wave equation $y = A s i n [ω (t - \frac{x}{v})]$ , we get
$A = 0.15 m, f = \frac{ω}{2 π} = \frac{30 π}{2 π} = 15 H z, v = 150 m / s, λ = \frac{v}{f} = 10 m$
