Options:
  • A $y=\sin (x-2 t)$
  • B $y=\sin (2 \pi x-2 \pi t)$
  • C $y=\sin (10 \pi x-20 \pi t)$
  • D $y=\sin (2 \pi x+2 \pi t)$

The correct answer is: $y=\sin (x-2 t)$
Given $a=1 \mathrm{~m}$
As,
$\begin{aligned}
y & =\operatorname{asin}(k x-\omega t) \\
& =\sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{2 \pi} x-2 \pi \times \frac{1}{\pi} t\right) \\
& =\sin (x-2 t)
\end{aligned}$
