(N/A) The angular frequency $(\omega)$ of a wave is defined as the rate of change of the phase of the wave with respect to time.
It represents the number of radians the wave oscillates per unit of time.
Mathematically, it is given by $\omega = 2\pi f$, where $f$ is the frequency of the wave.
The $SI$ unit of angular frequency is radians per second $(rad/s)$.

For a wave represented by the equation $y = 3 \cos \left( \frac{x}{4} - 10t - \frac{\pi}{2} \right)$,what is the maximum velocity of the particle of the medium?

The disturbance $y(x, t)$ of a wave propagating in the positive $x$-direction is given by $y = \frac{1}{1 + x^2}$ at time $t = 0$ and by $y = \frac{1}{1 + (x - 1)^2}$ at $t = 2 \ s$,where $x$ and $y$ are in meters. The shape of the wave disturbance does not change during the propagation. The velocity of the wave in $m/s$ is:
