The distance between two consecutive cre...

The distance between two consecutive crests in a wave train produced in string is 5 m. If two complete waves pass through any point per second, the velocity of wave is :-

A

`2.5m//s`

B

`5.0m//s`

C

`8.0m//s`

D

`10.0m//s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Here `lamda=5.0 m, n=2`
`therefore v=n lamda=2 times 5.0=10.0 m//s`
