As we discussed in

Y\:=\:3Sin\frac{\pi}{2}(50+-x)

Compare with standard wave equation

Y\:=\:aSin(wt-Kx)

Wave velocity = V\:=\:\frac{W}{K}\:=\:\frac{25\pi}{\frac{\pi}{2}}\:=50\:ms^{-1}

The velocity of particle

V_{p}\:=\:\frac{dy}{dt}\:=\:75\pi Cos\:(25\pi t-\frac{\pi}{2}x)

V_{Pmax}\:=\:75\pi

\frac{V_{Pmax}}{V}\:=\:\frac{75\pi}{50}\:=\:\frac{3\pi}{2}


Option 1)

\frac{3} {2}\pi

This option is correct.

Option 2)

3\pi

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

\frac{2} {3}\pi

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

2\pi

This option is incorrect.
