The equation of a certain progressive transverse wave is ...

The equation of a certain progressive transverse wave is y = 2 sin 2 π(t0.01x30), where x and y are in cm and t in seconds. Calculate the period of the wave.

A.

0.001s

B.

0.010s

C.

10.000s

D.

100.000s

Correct answer is B

Compare: Y = 2 sin 2 π(t0.01x30)

with the wave equation,

y = A sin 2 π(tTxλ)

tT=t0.01

T = 0.010s
