Paragraph:
Two plane harmonic sound waves are expressed by the equations.
$$
\begin{aligned}
& y_1(x, t)=A \cos (0.5 \pi x-100 \pi t) \\
& y_2(x, t)=A \cos (0.46 \pi x-92 \pi t)
\end{aligned}
$$

Options:
  • A
    $200 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  • B
    $180 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  • C
    $192 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  • D

The correct answer is:
$200 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
Speed of wave $v=\frac{\omega}{R}$ or $\quad v=\frac{100 \pi}{0.5 \pi}$ or $\frac{92 \pi}{0.46 \pi}=200 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
