{v_{p(max)}} = \left ( \frac{dy}{dt} \right )_{max} = 50

v_{w} = \frac{\omega }{k} = \frac{100}{25} = 4

\frac{v_{p(max)}}{v_{w}} = 12.5

 

Relation between phase velocity and wave speed -

V_{P}= -V\: \frac{dy}{dx}

- wherein

V_{P}= particle velocity

V = wave velocity

\frac{dy}{dx}= slope of curve
