A travelling wave has the frequency `upsilon` and the particle displacement amplitude `A`. For the wave the particle velocity amplitude is ………………… and the particle acceleration amplitude is ……………………..

A

`2pi vA`

B

`4pi^(2) v^(2)A`

C

`(4pi^(2))/(v^(2)A)`

D

`4pi v^(2)A`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
A travelling wave is a simple harmonic wave
Its paritcle acceleration amplite = maximum acceleration
`= omega^(2) A = (2pi v)^(2)A`
`= 4pi^(2) v^(2) A`
