The equation of wave is given by

Y = 1 0^{- 2} sin 2 π (160 t - 0.5 x + \frac{π}{4})

Where

x

and

Y

are in

m

and

t

is

s

. The speed of the wave is ____

km h^{- 1}

Answer: 1152

Solution

Writing the wave as

Y = A sin (ω t - k x + ϕ)

, the time coefficient is

ω = 2 π (160)

rad/s and the space coefficient is

k = 2 π (0.5)

rad/m. The wave speed is

v = \frac{ω}{k} = \frac{160}{0.5} = 320

m/s. Converting,

320 \times 3.6 = 1152

km h

^{- 1}

.
