Question

Which of the following equations correctly represents a travelling wave having wavelength $\lambda$ = 4.0 cm, frequency v = 100 Hz and travelling in positive x-axis direction?

$y = A\sin [(0.50\,\pi \,c{m^{ - 1}})x - (100\,\pi \,{s^{ - 1}})t]$
$y = A\sin \,\,2\pi [(0.25\,\,c{m^{ - 1}})x - (50\,{s^{ - 1}})t]$
$y = A\sin \left[ {\left( {{{2\pi } \over 4}\,c{m^{ - 1}}} \right)x - \left( {{{2\pi } \over {100}}\,{s^{ - 1}}} \right)t} \right]$
$y = A\sin \,\pi [(0.5\,\,c{m^{ - 1}})x - (200\,\,{s^{ - 1}})t]$
