The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the equation of a progressive wave given its amplitude, wavelength, and the maximum average velocity of the particles. ### Step 1: Identify the given parameters - Amplitude (A) = 5 m - Wavelength (λ) = 3 m - Maximum average velocity of particle in half time period (V_avg) = 5 m/s ### Step 2: Relate the average velocity to amplitude and time period The average velocity of a particle in half a time period can be expressed as: \[ V_{\text{avg}} = \frac{2A}{T/2} = \frac{4A}{T} \] Substituting the known values: \[ 5 = \frac{4 \times 5}{T} \] This simplifies to: \[ 5 = \frac{20}{T} \] ### Step 3: Solve for the time period (T) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ T = \frac{20}{5} = 4 \text{ seconds} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the angular frequency (ω) The angular frequency (ω) is related to the time period (T) by the formula: \[ \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \] Substituting the value of T: \[ \omega = \frac{2\pi}{4} = \frac{\pi}{2} \text{ rad/s} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the wave number (k) The wave number (k) is given by: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] Substituting the value of λ: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{3} \text{ rad/m} \] ### Step 6: Write the equation of the wave The general equation of a progressive wave moving in the positive x-direction is given by: \[ y = A \sin(\omega t - kx) \] Substituting the values of A, ω, and k: \[ y = 5 \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} t - \frac{2\pi}{3} x\right) \] ### Conclusion Thus, the equation of the wave is: \[ y = 5 \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} t - \frac{2\pi}{3} x\right) \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the equation of a progressive wave given its amplitude, wavelength, and the maximum average velocity of the particles. ### Step 1: Identify the given parameters - Amplitude (A) = 5 m - Wavelength (λ) = 3 m - Maximum average velocity of particle in half time period (V_avg) = 5 m/s ### Step 2: Relate the average velocity to amplitude and time period ...
