The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the relationships between wave properties such as amplitude, wavelength, wave velocity, and maximum particle velocity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Variables**: - Let \( A \) be the amplitude of the sine wave. - Let \( \lambda \) be the wavelength of the wave. - Let \( V \) be the wave velocity. - Let \( v \) be the maximum velocity of a particle in the medium. 2. **Maximum Velocity of a Particle**: - The maximum velocity \( v \) of a particle in the medium is given by the formula: \[ v = A \cdot \omega \] where \( \omega \) is the angular frequency of the wave. 3. **Angular Frequency**: - The angular frequency \( \omega \) can be expressed in terms of the frequency \( f \): \[ \omega = 2\pi f \] Thus, substituting this into the equation for maximum velocity, we get: \[ v = A \cdot (2\pi f) \] This can be labeled as Equation (1). 4. **Wave Velocity**: - The wave velocity \( V \) can also be expressed in terms of frequency and wavelength: \[ V = f \cdot \lambda \] This can be labeled as Equation (2). 5. **Equating Wave Velocity and Maximum Velocity**: - According to the problem, we need to find the condition under which the wave velocity \( V \) equals the maximum particle velocity \( v \). Therefore, we set: \[ V = v \] Substituting the expressions from Equations (1) and (2): \[ f \cdot \lambda = A \cdot (2\pi f) \] 6. **Simplifying the Equation**: - We can cancel \( f \) from both sides (assuming \( f \neq 0 \)): \[ \lambda = A \cdot (2\pi) \] Rearranging gives: \[ A = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi} \] 7. **Conclusion**: - We have derived that the amplitude \( A \) is related to the wavelength \( \lambda \) by the equation: \[ A = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi} \] This means that if \( A = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi} \), then the wave velocity \( V \) will equal the maximum velocity \( v \). ### Final Answer: The correct condition is \( v = V \) if \( A = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi} \).
