A transerverse wave is travelling in x-direction a string having `5N` and liner mass density `50gm//m`. Shape of the string at a particular instant shown in figure. Both `x` and `y` are in meter angle `45^(@)` with x-axis. What is the speed of point `P` of string in `m//s` ?

A

`10`

B

`5`

C

`0.5`

D

`1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
A transverse …………
Wave speed, `V_(0) = sqrt((T)/(mu)) = 10m//s`
Particle speed, `V. = V_(0) (del y)/(del x) = V_(0) tan 45^(@) = 10 m//s`
