The equation of transverse wave traveling along a string is given by Y = 0.3 sin(0.5x - 50t) where Y and X are in cm and t is in seconds.Find the maximum displacement of the particles from the equilibrium position

  • A. 50.0cm
  • B. 2.5 cm
  • C. 0.5cm
  • D. 0.3cm

Correct Answer: D. 0.3cm

Explanation

Y = 0.3 sin(0.5x - 50t) compare with,

y = A sin(kx - wt)

A = 0.3m
