Options

  1. A

    Y(x,t)=0.03[sin5.1x−(0.2×103)t]Y(x,t)=0.03[\mathrm{sin}5.1x-(0.2\times {10}^{3})t]Y(x,t)=0.03[sin5.1x−(0.2×103)t]

  2. B

    Y(x,t)=0.06[sin5.1x−(1.5×103)t]Y(x,t)=0.06[\mathrm{sin}5.1x-(1.5\times {10}^{3})t]Y(x,t)=0.06[sin5.1x−(1.5×103)t]

  3. C

    Y(x,t)=0.06[sin0.8x−(0.5×103)t]Y(x,t)=0.06[\mathrm{sin}0.8x-(0.5\times {10}^{3})t]Y(x,t)=0.06[sin0.8x−(0.5×103)t]

  4. D

    Y(x,t)=0.03[sin5.1x−(1.5×103)t]Y(x,t)=0.03[\mathrm{sin}5.1x-(1.5\times {10}^{3})t]Y(x,t)=0.03[sin5.1x−(1.5×103)t]
