Mark out the correct statement (S) e.r.t. wave speed and particle velocity for a transverse travelling mechanical wave on a string.

A

The wave speed is same for the entire wave, while particle velocity is different for different points at a particular instant.

B

wave speed depends upon property of the medium but not on the wave properties.

C

wave speed depends upon both the properties of the medium and on the properties of waves

D

particle velocity depends upon properties of the wave and not on medium properties.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct statement about wave speed and particle velocity for a transverse traveling mechanical wave on a string, we will analyze the statements one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Wave Speed and Particle Velocity**: - Wave speed (v) is the speed at which the wave propagates through the medium. For a transverse wave on a string, this speed is constant for the entire wave. - Particle velocity refers to the speed at which individual particles of the medium (the string) move as the wave passes. This velocity varies for different particles at a given instant. 2. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **Statement A**: "Wave speed is the same for the entire wave, while particle velocity is different for different points at a particular instant." - This statement is **true**. The wave speed is constant, but particle velocities vary depending on their position in the wave. - **Statement B**: "Wave strength depends on the property of the medium, not on the wave property." - This statement is **true**. Wave speed is influenced by medium properties such as tension and mass per unit length, not by the wave's frequency or amplitude. - **Statement C**: "Wave speed depends on both the property of the medium and on the property of the wave." - This statement is **false**. Wave speed primarily depends on the properties of the medium (like tension and mass density) and not on the wave properties (frequency, amplitude). - **Statement D**: "Particle velocity depends on the property of the wave." - This statement is **true**. The particle velocity is indeed influenced by wave properties such as amplitude and frequency. 3. **Conclusion**: - The correct statements regarding wave speed and particle velocity for a transverse traveling mechanical wave on a string are A, B, and D. ### Final Answer: The correct statements are A, B, and D.
