Question

A plane progressive

Answer 1

Answer:

Amplitude, A = 5 m

Explanation:

Let a progressive wave is given by equation :

$y=5\sin (100\pi t-0.4\pi x)$ .....(1)

The general equation of a progressive wave is given by :

$y=A\sin (\omega t-kx)$ ....(2)

Here,

A is the amplitude of the wave

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

k is propagation constant

We need to find the amplitude of the wave.

If we compare equations (1) and (2), we find that the amplitude of the given plane progressive wave is 5 m.
