A sine wave has an amplitude A and wavelength `lambda`. Let V be the wave velocity and v be the maximum velocity of a particle in the medium. Then

A

`V= v " if " lamda = (3A)/(2pi)`

B

`V= v " if " A = 2pi lamda`

C

`V= v " if "A = (lamda)/(2pi)`

D

V can not be equal to v

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Maximum particle velocity, `v= A omega = 2pi v A` But `V= v lamda`
If V= v then, then `v lamda = 2pi v A or lamda = 2pi A`
