the same progressive wave is reprsented ...

the same progressive wave is reprsented by two group I and II. Graoup I shows how the displacement 'y' varies with the distance x along the wave at a given time. Graph II shows how y varies with time t at a given point on the wave. The ratio of measurements AB to CD, marked on the curvse m repersents.

A

wave number `k`

B

wave speed `V`.

C

frequency `v`.

D

angular frequency `omega`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`("measure"AB)/("measure"CD) = (lambda)/(mu) = V`

The same progressive wave is represented by two graphs I and II. Graph I shows how the displacement y varies with the distance x along the wave at a given time. Graph II shows how y varies with time t at a given point on the wave. The ratio of measurements AB to CD, marked on the curves represents:
