    If the equation of motion of standing waves is \[y=0.3\text{ }sin(314\text{ }t-1.57\text{ }x),\]then the velocity of standing wave will be:

    A)  400 m/s        

    B)  300 m/s

    C)  200in/s        

    D)  100 m/s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Here: Equation of the standing wave is \[y=0.3\sin (314t-1.57x)\]                ...(1) The standard equation of standing wave is \[y=a\sin 2\pi .\left[ \frac{t}{T}-\frac{x}{\lambda } \right]\] Comparing the given equation (1) and standard equation (2), we get \[y=0.3\sin \left[ \frac{314t}{2\pi }-\frac{1.57}{\lambda } \right]\]         ...(2) \[=\frac{0.30}{100}\sin 2\pi \left( 50t-\frac{x}{4} \right)\] Or \[\frac{1}{T}=50\] and \[\lambda =4\] Hence, the velocity of the standing wave is \[\upsilon =n\lambda =\frac{1}{T}\times 4=50\times 4=200m/s\]
