A certain transverse sinusoidal wave of ...

A certain transverse sinusoidal wave of wavelength 20 cm is moving in the positive x direction. The transverse velocity of the particle at x=0 as a function of time is shown. The amplitude of the motion is:

A

`(5)/(pi)cm`

B

`(pi)/(2)cm`

C

`(10)/(pi)cm`

D

`2pi cm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
`V_(max)=Aomega=5 implies A(2pi)/(4)=5`
`implies A=(10)/(pi)cm`
