If a wave propagates through a medium. Then, the velocity of particle of medium is given by

A

wave velocity `xx` strain

B

`("wave velocity")/("strain")`

C

wave velocity

D

`("angular frequency")/("propagation constant")`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Strain = `(dely)/(delx)`,
As we know, `v_("particle")=-c(dely)/(delx)` = wave velocity `xx` strain
