When a sound wave of wavelength \(\lambda\) is propagating in a medium, the maximum velocity of the particle is equal to the wave velocity. The amplitude of wave is

  1. A \(\lambda\)
  2. B \(\frac{\lambda}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\lambda}{4 \pi}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & v_{\max }=v \\ & \Rightarrow \quad A \omega=v \\ & \Rightarrow \quad A \times 2 \pi v=v \lambda \\ & A=\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi} \\ & \end{aligned}\)
