Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Identify the angular frequency from the wave equation.

    The general displacement equation for a sinusoidal wave is given by y=Asin⁡(kx−ωt)y = A \sin(kx - \omega t), where ω\omega is the angular frequency.
    Comparing the given equation y=0.02sin⁡(5x−100t)y = 0.02 \sin(5x - 100t) with the general form, we can identify the angular frequency:

    ω=100 rad/s\omega = 100 \text{ rad/s}
  2. Calculate the frequency using the angular frequency.

    The relationship between angular frequency ω\omega and frequency ff is:

    ω=2πf\omega = 2\pi f

    Rearranging to solve for ff:

    f=ω2πf = \frac{\omega}{2\pi}

    Substitute the value of ω\omega:

    f=100 rad/s2πf = \frac{100 \text{ rad/s}}{2\pi} f=50π Hzf = \frac{50}{\pi} \text{ Hz}

    Using π≈3.14159\pi \approx 3.14159:

    f≈503.14159 Hzf \approx \frac{50}{3.14159} \text{ Hz} f≈15.92 Hzf \approx 15.92 \text{ Hz}

    The frequency of the wave is 15.92 Hz\text{15.92 Hz}.
