The same progressive wave is represented...


The same progressive wave is represented by two graphs I and II. Graph I shows how the displacement `y` varies with the distance x along the wave at a given time. Graph II shows how y varies with time t at a given point on the wave. The ratio of measurements AB to CD, marked on the curves represents:

A

wave number k

B

wave speed v

C

frequency v

D

angular frequency `omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`AB=lamda`
`CD=T`
`(AB)/(CD)=(lamda)/(T)=flamda=v` i.e., wave speed
