JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 14. waves and sound

A transverse wave is represented by \(y=2 \sin\) \((\omega t - kx ) cm\). The value of wavelength (in \(cm\) ) for which the wave velocity becomes equal to the maximum particle velocity, will be.

  1. A \(4 \pi\)
  2. B \(2 \pi\)
  3. C \(\pi\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4 \pi\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y=2 \sin (\omega t-k x)\) Maximum particle velocity \(= A \omega\) Wave velocity \(=\frac{\omega}{ k }\) \(\frac{\omega}{ k }= A \omega\) \(k =\frac{1}{ A }=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}\) \(\lambda =2 \pi A\) \(=4 \pi\,cm\)
