The equation of a travelling wave is $y = 60 \cos (1800t - 6x)$,where $y$ is in microns,$t$ is in seconds,and $x$ is in metres. The ratio of maximum particle velocity to the velocity of wave propagation is:

  • A
    $3.6 \times 10^{-11}$
  • B
    $3.6 \times 10^{-6}$
  • C
    $3.6 \times 10^{-4}$
  • D
    $3.6$
