The velocity v of waves produced in wate...

The velocity v of waves produced in water depends on their wavelength `lambda`, the density of water d, and acceleration due to gravity g. These quantities are related as (where k is a dimensionless constant)

A

`v^(2)= klambda^(-1)g^(-1)d^(-1)`

B

`v^(2)= klambdag`

C

`v^(2)klambdadg`

D

`v^(2)lambda^(3g^(-1)d^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`klambdag= [L][LT^(-2)]= [L^(2)T^(-2)]= [LT^(-1)]^(2)= v^(2)`
