a. 8sin(12x-6.2t)
b. 8sin(6.2x-12t)
c. 12 sin (6.2x-8t)
d. all of the above

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. [tex]8sin(6.2x-12t)[/tex]

Explanation:

The general equation of a wave is expressed as [tex]y = Asin(kx-\omega t)[/tex]

A is the amplitude of the wave

k is the wave number and it is expressed as [tex]k =\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}[/tex]

[tex]\omega[/tex] is the angular frequency expressed as [tex]\omega = 2\pi f[/tex]

[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength and f is the angular frequency

Given k = 6.2rad/m and [tex]\omega = 12rad/s[/tex]

On substituting this value into the general wave equation;

[tex]y = Asin(kx-\omega t)\\y = Asin(6.2x-12t)[/tex]

From the expression gotten, the only equation that could be the equation of the wave is [tex]y = 8sin(6.2x-12t)[/tex]
