Vedclass · Answer

(D) The given wave equation is $Y = A \sin 2 \pi (n t - \frac{x}{\lambda})$.Comparing this with the standard wave equation $Y = A \sin (\omega t - kx)$,we have $\omega = 2 \pi n$ and $k = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}$.The maximum particle velocity is given by $v_{p, 	ext{max}} = A \omega = A (2 \pi n)$.The wave velocity is given by $v_w = \frac{\omega}{k} = \frac{2 \pi n}{2 \pi / \lambda} = n \lambda$.According to the problem,$v_{p, 	ext{max}} = 4 v_w$.Substituting the expressions,we get $A (2 \pi n) = 4 (n \lambda)$.Simplifying the equation,$2 \pi A n = 4 n \lambda$.Dividing both sides by $2n$,we get $\lambda = \pi A$.

$A$ simple harmonic progressive wave is represented as $Y = A \sin 2 \pi (n t - \frac{x}{\lambda}) \text{ cm}$. If the maximum particle velocity is four times the wave velocity,then the wavelength of the wave is
