A wave travelling  in the positive x- direction having displacement along y- direction as 1 m, wavelength 2π m and frequency of 1/π Hz is represented by

• y = sin(x-2t)

• y= sin (2πx-2πt)

• y= sin (10πx-20πt)

A string is stretched between fixed points separated by 75.0 cm. It is observed to have resonant frequencies of 420 Hz and 315 Hz. There are no other resonant frequencies between these two. The lowest resonant frequency for this strings is

• 155 Hz

• 205 Hz

A particle is executing a simple harmonic motion. Its maximum acceleration is α and maximum velocity is β. Then, its time period of vibration will be 

• β²/α²

• α/β

• β²/α

• β²/α

Two particle are oscillating along two close parallel straight lines sides by sides, with the same frequency and amplitudes. They pass each other, moving in opposite directions when their displacement is half of the amplitude. The mean position of the two particles lie on a straight line perpendicular to the paths of the two particles.
The phase difference is

• zero

• 2π/3

• π

• π

The displacement of a particle along the x-axis is given by x = a sin² ωt. The motion of the particle corresponds to 

• simple of harmonic motion of frequency ω/π

• simple harmonic motion of frequency 3ω/2π

• non simple harmonic motion

• non simple harmonic motion
