A vibrating tuning fork generates a wave given by y = 0.1 sin pi (0.1 x- 2t) , Where x and y are in metre and t is in second. The distance travelled by the wave while the fork completes 30 vibrations is :

Answer»

600 m
36 m
20 m
200 m

Solution :y = 0.1 sin `(0.1 pi x - 2 pi t)`
COMPARING it with y = R sin `(kx - omega t)`.
`rArr "" k = 0.1 pi and omega= 2pi `
`(2pi)/(lambda) = 0.1 pi "" rArr "" lambda ` = 20 m,
`therefore` DISTANCE travelled by wave when TUNNING fork completes 30 vibrations = 30 `lambda` = 600 m
Correct choice is a.
