  1. Question 1

    Q1. A wave is described by the equation y = 5 sin(2πx/3 - 4πt). What is its amplitude?

    • A) 2
    • B) 3
    • C) 5
    • D) 10

    Answer: 5

    Explanation: The given wave equation is in the form y = A sin(kx - ωt), where A is the amplitude. Here, A = 5. Option A is incorrect as it misinterprets the amplitude.
