The wave described by $y = 0.25 \sin(10\pi x - 2\pi t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $meters$ and $t$ in $seconds$,is a wave travelling along:

  • A
    $+ve$ $x$-direction with frequency $1 \, Hz$ and wavelength $\lambda = 0.2 \, m$.
  • B
    $-ve$ $x$-direction with amplitude $0.25 \, m$ and wavelength $\lambda = 0.2 \, m$.
  • C
    $-ve$ $x$-direction with frequency $1 \, Hz$.
  • D
    $+ve$ $x$-direction with frequency $\pi \, Hz$ and wavelength $\lambda = 0.2 \, m$.

State whether the following statements are True or False:
$(i)$ In the case of propagation of longitudinal waves,the angle between the directions of particle velocity and wave velocity is $0^{\circ}$ or $180^{\circ}$.
$(ii)$ In the case of propagation of transverse waves,the angle between the directions of particle velocity and wave velocity is $\pi \text{ rad}$.
$(iii)$ Along the direction of propagation of a wave,the distance between two particles having the same phase is called the wavelength of the wave.
$(iv)$ When a wave is reflected from a rarer medium,its phase increases by an amount of $\pi \text{ rad}$.

The speed of a wave in a medium is $760\, m/s$. If $3600$ waves are passing through a point in the medium in $2$ minutes, then its wavelength is ...... $m$.
