Detailed Solution for 31 Year NEET Previous Year Questions: Waves - 2 - Question 25

y = 0.25 sin (10πx – 2πt)

Comparing this equation with the standard wave equation y = asin (kx – ωt)

We get,  k = 10π

And ω = 2π or, 2πv = 2π ⇒ v = 1Hz.
The sign inside the bracket is negative, hence the wave travels in + ve x- direction.
