Answer:
Correct Answer: 35. (b)
Solution:
- (b) The standard equation of a progressive wave is
$y=a \sin [2 \pi(\frac{t}{T}-\frac{x}{\lambda})+\phi]$
The given equation can be written as
$y=4 \sin [2 \pi(\frac{t}{10}-\frac{x}{18})+\frac{\pi}{6}]$
$\therefore a=4 cm, T=10 s, \lambda=18 cm$ and $\phi=\pi / 6$
Hence, (b) is correct.
