A wave pulse passing on a string with speed of `40cms^-1` in the negative x direction has its maximum at `x=0` at `t=0`. Where will this maximum be located at `t=5s?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
v=40cm/sec
As the velocity of a wave is constant, the location of the maximum after 5 sec is
`40xx5=200cm` along the negative x-axis
at x=-2m.
