A plane progressive wave is represented by the equation: y = 2 sin (400 1 - 0.3x). What is the frequency of the wave?
A.
50Hz
B.
100Hz
C.
200Hz
D.
80Hz
Correct Answer: 200Hz
Explanation
given: y = 2 sin (400 t - 0.3x)
we recall the general equation of a progressive wave
y = Asin( t - x)
= 2 ft -
by comparison
400 = 2 f
f = = 200Hz
