The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given wave equation and derive the relationships between the constants involved. The wave equation is given as: \[ y = a \sin(2\pi(bt - cx)) \] ### Step 1: Identify the parameters From the wave equation, we can identify: - \( a \) is the amplitude of the wave. - \( b \) is related to the frequency of the wave. - \( c \) is related to the wave number. ### Step 2: Relate wave parameters The angular frequency \( \omega \) and wave number \( k \) can be defined as: - \( \omega = 2\pi b \) (angular frequency) - \( k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} = \frac{2\pi c}{v} \) (wave number) ### Step 3: Determine wave velocity The wave velocity \( v \) can be expressed in terms of \( b \) and \( c \): \[ v = \frac{\lambda}{T} = \frac{c}{b} \] ### Step 4: Calculate maximum particle velocity The maximum particle velocity \( v_{max} \) is given by: \[ v_{max} = \omega \cdot a = (2\pi b) \cdot a \] ### Step 5: Set up the relationship According to the problem, the maximum particle velocity is twice the wave velocity: \[ v_{max} = 2v \] Substituting the expressions we derived: \[ 2\pi b a = 2 \cdot \frac{c}{b} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the equation We can simplify this equation: \[ 2\pi b a = \frac{2c}{b} \] Multiplying both sides by \( b \): \[ 2\pi b^2 a = 2c \] Dividing both sides by 2: \[ \pi b^2 a = c \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( c \) Thus, we find: \[ c = \pi b^2 a \] ### Final Answer The relationship derived is: \[ c = \pi b^2 a \]
