A wave travelling along the $x-$ axis is described by the equation $y \,(x, t ) = 0.005\, cos \,\left( {\alpha x - \beta t} \right)$. If the wavelength and the time period of the wave are $0.08\,m$ and $2.0\, s$ respectively then $a$ and $b$ in appropriate units are

  • A

    $\alpha  = 25.00\pi ,\beta  = \pi $

  • B

    $\alpha  = \frac{{0.08}}{\pi },\beta  = \frac{{2.0}}{\pi }$

  • C

    $\alpha  = \frac{{0.04}}{\pi },\beta  = \frac{{1.0}}{\pi }$

  • D

    $\alpha  = 12.50\pi ,\beta  = \frac{\pi }{{2.0}}$
