The angle between particle velocity and wave velocity in a transverse wave is
- A zero
- B \(\pi / 4\)
- C \(\pi / 2\)
- D \(\pi\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\pi / 2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In a transverse wave the particles of the medium vibrate about their mean positions in a direction perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
Here, the particle velocity is given by \(\frac{d y}{d t}\) and wave velocity is given by \(\frac{d x}{d t}\).
Hence, the angle between particle velocity and wave velocity in a transverse wave is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).
Here, the particle velocity is given by \(\frac{d y}{d t}\) and wave velocity is given by \(\frac{d x}{d t}\).
Hence, the angle between particle velocity and wave velocity in a transverse wave is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).
