The maximum particle velocity in a progr...

The maximum particle velocity in a progressive wave is 4 times of the wave, velocity. If the amplitude of the particle is 'A', then the proagation constant is

A

4/A

B

A/4

C

2/A

D

A/2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`v_("Pmax") = 4v`
`A omega = 4v`
`A xx 2pi n = 4 n lamda`
`A xx (2pi)/(lamda) = 4`
`A xx k = 4`
`k = (4)/(A)`
