JAMB 2008 - Question 26
Physics 2008 JAMB Past Questions - Question 26: Given the progressive wave equation y=5sin (2000πt-0.4x),calculate the wavelength .
Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
B
Explanation
Comparing y = 5sin (200 πt - 0.4X) with the wave equation y = A sin (wt -KX) K = (2π)/λ = 0.4
∴ λ = (2π)/0.4 = 15.7M
