The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of maximum particle velocity to wave velocity for the given wave equation \( Y = A \sin(2\pi(pt - \frac{x}{5})) \). ### Step 1: Identify the parameters from the wave equation The given wave equation is: \[ Y = A \sin(2\pi(pt - \frac{x}{5})) \] From this equation, we can identify: - The amplitude \( A \). - The angular frequency \( \omega \) and the wave number \( k \). ### Step 2: Rewrite the wave equation in standard form We can rewrite the argument of the sine function: \[ Y = A \sin(2\pi pt - 2\pi \frac{x}{5}) \] This can be compared with the standard wave equation: \[ Y = A \sin(\omega t - kx) \] From this comparison, we can identify: - \( \omega = 2\pi p \) - \( k = \frac{2\pi}{5} \) ### Step 3: Calculate maximum particle velocity The maximum particle velocity \( v_{max} \) is given by the formula: \[ v_{max} = A \omega \] Substituting the value of \( \omega \): \[ v_{max} = A (2\pi p) \] ### Step 4: Calculate wave velocity The wave velocity \( v \) is given by: \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} \] Substituting the values of \( \omega \) and \( k \): \[ v = \frac{2\pi p}{\frac{2\pi}{5}} = 5p \] ### Step 5: Calculate the ratio of maximum particle velocity to wave velocity Now, we find the ratio \( \frac{v_{max}}{v} \): \[ \frac{v_{max}}{v} = \frac{A(2\pi p)}{5p} \] The \( p \) terms cancel out: \[ \frac{v_{max}}{v} = \frac{2\pi A}{5} \] ### Final Result Thus, the ratio of maximum particle velocity to wave velocity is: \[ \frac{v_{max}}{v} = \frac{2\pi A}{5} \]
