The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the maximum particle velocity to the wave velocity from the given wave equation \( y = a \sin(2\pi [t - \frac{x}{5}]) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the wave equation**: The given equation is \( y = a \sin(2\pi [t - \frac{x}{5}]) \). We can rewrite this in the standard form of a wave equation, which is \( y = a \sin(\omega t - kx) \). 2. **Extract parameters**: From the equation, we can identify: - Angular frequency \( \omega = 2\pi \) - Wave number \( k = \frac{2\pi}{5} \) 3. **Calculate maximum particle velocity**: The maximum particle velocity \( V_{\text{max}} \) is given by the formula: \[ V_{\text{max}} = a \omega \] Substituting the value of \( \omega \): \[ V_{\text{max}} = a \cdot 2\pi \] 4. **Calculate wave velocity**: The wave velocity \( v \) is calculated using the formula: \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} \] Substituting the values of \( \omega \) and \( k \): \[ v = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{2\pi}{5}} = 5 \] 5. **Find the ratio of maximum particle velocity to wave velocity**: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{V_{\text{max}}}{v} = \frac{a \cdot 2\pi}{5} \] 6. **Final expression**: The ratio of maximum particle velocity to wave velocity is: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{2\pi a}{5} \] ### Conclusion: The ratio of maximum particle velocity to wave velocity is \( \frac{2\pi a}{5} \).
