MCQ
A sinusoidal progressive wave is generated in a string. It’s equation is given by $y = (2\,\, mm) sin (2\pi x - 100 \pi t + \pi /3)$. The time when particle at $x = 4$ $m$ first passes through mean position, will be
  • A
    $\frac{1}{{150}}\, sec$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{{12}}\, sec$
  • $\frac{1}{{300}}\,sec$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{{100}}\,sec$ 

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{1}{{300}}\,sec$
c
$y=2 m m \sin \left(2 \pi x-100 \pi t+\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$

$\Rightarrow 0=2 \sin \left(2 \pi x-100 \pi t+\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$

$\Rightarrow n \pi=8 \pi-100 \pi t+\frac{\pi}{3}(n=0,1,2,3 \dots)$

$\Rightarrow t_{\min }=\frac{\frac{25 \pi}{3}-n \pi}{100 \pi}=\frac{\pi}{3} / 100 \pi=\frac{1}{300} s$
