  • A 0.25 x 10\(^{-3}\)rads\(^{-1}\)
  • B 0.25 x 10\(^{-1}\)rads\(^{-1}\)
  • C 5.00 x 10\(^{2}\)rads\(^{-1}\)
  • D 2.50 x 10\(^{3}\)rads\(^{-1}\)
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Using y = A sin (wt + 0)
Given y = 0.25 x 10\(^{-3}\)sin (500t - 0.025x)
By comparing, w = 5.00 x 10\(^{2}\)rads\(^{-1}\)
