Answer:

Correct Answer: 6. (b)

Solution:

  1. Given, equation can be rewritten as,

y=0.03sin450(t9x450)

We know that the general equation of a travelling wave is given as,

y=Asinω(tx/v)

Comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

 velocity, v=4509=50m/s

and angular velocity, ω=450rad/s

As, the velocity of wave on stretched string with tension (T) is given as v=T/μ

where, μ is linear density

T=μv2=5×103×50×50=12.5N

( given, μ=5g/m=5×103kg/m)
