Consider the wave equation: \(y = 10sin(x - 50t)\), What does the number 10 represent?

  • A Acceleration
  • B Speed
  • C Amplitude
  • D Wavelength

The correct answer is C. Amplitude

Comparing the given equation with the wave equation:

\(Asin(kx - \omega t)\), we have that A = 10 which is the amplitude of the wave.
