    Given that \[Y=A\sin \left[ \left( \frac{2\pi }{\lambda }(ct-x) \right) \right],\] where y and x are measured in metre. Which of the following statements is true?

    A) The unit of \[\lambda \]  is same as that of x and A

    B) The unit of\[\lambda \] is same as that of x but not of A

    C) The unit of c is same as that of\[\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\]

    D) The unit of (ct - x) is same as that of \[\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here \[\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }(ct-x)\] is dimensionless. Hence, \[\frac{ct}{\lambda }\] is also dimensionless and unit of \[ct\]is same as that of\[x\]. Therefore, unit of \[\lambda \] is same as that of \[x\]. Also unit of \[y\] is same as that of\[A,\]which is also the unit of\[x\].
