Option 1 -
Y(x,t) = 0.03 [sin 5.1x - (1.5 * 10³)t]
Option 2 -
Y(x,t) = 0.03 [sin 5.1x - (0.2 * 10³)t]
Option 3 -
Y(x,t) = 0.06 [sin 5.1x - (1.5 * 10³)t]
Option 4 -
Y(x,t) = 0.06 [sin 0.8x - (0.5 * 10³)t]

Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:The angular frequency ω is calculated as:
ω = 2πf = 2 * 3.14 * 245 = 1.5386 * 10³ rad/s ≈ 1.5 * 10³ rad/sThis continues the solution from number 15 on the previous page.
k = ω / v = (1.53 * 10³) / 300 = 5.1 m? ¹
A = 0.06 / 2 = 0.03m
