$A$ wave equation which gives the displacement along $y$-direction is given by $y = 0.001 \sin(100t + x)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in meters and $t$ is time in seconds. This represents a wave:

  • A
    Of frequency $\frac{50}{\pi} \ Hz$
  • B
    Of wavelength $2\pi \ m$
  • C
    Travelling with a velocity of $100 \ m/s$ in the positive $x$-direction
  • D
    Travelling with a velocity of $100 \ m/s$ in the negative $x$-direction
