A wave pulse passing on a string with speed of `40cms^-1` in the negative x direction has its maximum at `x=0` at` t=0`. Where will this maximum be located at `t=5s?`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`v=40 cm//s`
As velocity of a wave is constant, location of maximum after `5` s is given by `40xx5=200 cm` along the negative `x`-axis at `x=-2 m`
