Speed of wave
Question

A transverse wave is described by the equation y = yo sin 2πft - xλ .The maximum particle velocity is equal to four times the wave velocity if : 

Moderate
Solution

Wave velocity v = coefficient of tcoefficient of x = 2πf2π/λ = λf Maximum particle velocity vpm = ωA = 2πfyo Given, vpm = 4v or 2πfyo = 4λ f  λ = πyo2  correct option is (B)
