As we discussed

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

 

 Y = A Sin (wt- Kx)

Particle velocity Vp = dy / dt = Aw cos (wt - kx)

\therefore Vp max = AW

wave velocity = W / K

\therefore AW = W / K

i.e A = 1/K value k = 2\piA
