A standing wave is formed by the superposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions.  The transverse displacement is given by

y\left ( x,t \right )= 0.5\sin \left ( \frac{5\pi }{4} x\right )\: \cos \left ( 200\pi t \right )                       

What is the speed of the travelling wave moving in the positive x direction ?

(x and t are in meter and second, respectively.)

  • Option 1)

     160 m/s

  • Option 2)

    90 m/s

  • Option 3)

    180 m/s

  • Option 4)

     120 m/s
