A transverse wave is represented by y = A sin (t - kx). For what value of the wavelength is the wave velocity equal to the maximum particle velocity?
A/2
A
2A
A
As we discussed
Relation between phase velocity and wave speed -
- wherein
particle velocity
wave velocity
slope of curve
Y = A Sin (wt- Kx)
Particle velocity Vp = dy / dt = Aw cos (wt - kx)
Vp max = AW
wave velocity = W / K
AW = W / K
i.e A = 1/K value k = 2A
