A wave is given by the equation
`y=A sin 2pi ("f"t-x//lambda)`
Its maximum particle velocity is four times the wave velocity, when `lambda` is

A

`piA`

B

`piA//2`

C

`piA//4`

D

`piA//8`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Equation of wave,`y=Asin2x(ft-x/lambda)`
`y=Asin2x[1/lambda(flambdat-x)]`
`y=Asin((2x)/lambda)(ftlambda-x)`
`v=flambda`
`implies y=Asin((2pi)/lambda)(vt-x)`
maximum particle velocity ,`v_p=2pifA`
since `v_p=4v`
`2pifA=4flambda`
`lambda=(piA)/2`
