The same progressive wave is represented...

The same progressive wave is represented by two graphs `I` and `II`. Graph `I` shows how the displacement `'y'` varies with the distance `x` along the wave at a given time. Graph `I` shows how `y` varies with time `t` at a given point on the wave. The ratio of measurements `AB` to `CD`, marked on the curves, represents :

A

wave number `k`

B

wave speed `V`.

C

frequency `v`.

D

angular frequency `omega`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`("measure"AB)/("measure"CD) = (lambda)/(mu) = V`
