Let velocity of a sound wave be 'v' and ...

Let velocity of a sound wave be 'v' and `'omega'` be angular velocity. The propagation constant of the wave is

A

`sqrt((omega)/(v))`

B

`sqrt((v)/(omega))`

C

`(omega)/(v)`

D

`(v)/(omega)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The propagation constant `K = (2pi )/(lamda) = (2pi n)/(lamda n) = (omega)/(v)`
