Answer

$f=95Hz$

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $y=(2.0mm)sin[(20m^{-1})x]-(600s^{-1})t]$ By comparing the given equation with $y_(x,t)=y_m sin(kx-\omega t)$ we obtain: $\omega=600\frac{rad}{s}$ As we know that $\omega=2\pi f$ Hence $f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f=\frac{600}{2(3.1416)}=95Hz$
