Question

A transverse wave is represented by the equation
     y = y0sin2πλ(vt-x)
For what value of λ, the maximum particle velocity equal to two times the wave velocity?

Moderate
Solution

On comparing the given equation with standard equation y = a sin2πλ(vt-x). It is clear that wave
speed (v)wave= v and maximum particle velocity (vmax)particle =  = y0× co-efficient of t = y0×2πvλ

  (vmax)particle =2(v)wave  

                              y0×2πvλ=2v    λ = πy0
