A travelling wave in a stretched string ...

A travelling wave in a stretched string is described by the equation `y = A sin (kx - omegat)` the maximum particle velocity is

A

`Aomega`

B

`omega//k`

C

`domega//dk`

D

`x//t`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Given `y=Asin(kx-omegat)`
`v=(dy)/(dt)=-Aomegacos(kx-omegat)impliesv_(max)=Aomega`
