The displacement $y$ of a particle at a distance $x$ at time $t$ for a transverse wave is given by $y = a \sin(bt - cx)$,where $a, b,$ and $c$ are constants. The dimensions of $b/c$ are the same as those of:

  • A
    Wave velocity
  • B
    Wavelength
  • C
    Amplitude of the wave
  • D
    Wave frequency
