Consider the wave equation: \(y = 10sin(x - 50t)\), What does the number 10 represent?
A
Acceleration
B
Speed
C
Amplitude
D
Wavelength
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Comparing the given equation with the wave equation:
\(Asin(kx - \omega t)\), we have that A = 10 which is the amplitude of the wave.
