Waves - Result Question 14

14. A transverse wave is represented by the equation y=y0sin2πλ(vtx)

For what value of λ is the maximum particle velocity equal to two times the wave velocity?

[1998]

(a) λ=2πy0

(b) λ=πy03

(c) λ=πy02

(d) λ=πy0

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 14. (d)

Solution:

  1. (d) y=y0sin2πλ(vtx)

Particle velocity,

dydt=y0×2πλvcos2πλ(vtx)

Maximum particle velocity =y0×2πνλ

Wave velocity =v [given]

So, y0×2πvλ=2v

λ=πy0
