Consider the wave equation:  (y =  10sin(x – 50t)), What does the number 10 represent?

  • A.
    Acceleration
  • B.
    Speed
  • C.
    Amplitude
  • D.
    Wavelength
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

Comparing the given equation with the wave equation:

(Asin(kx – omega t)), we have that A = 10 which is the amplitude of the wave.
