A progressive wave moving along \(x\) -axis is represented by \(y=A \sin \left[\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}(v t-x)\right]\) The
wavelength \((\lambda)\) at which the maximum particle velocity is 3 times the wave velocity is

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{A}\)
  2. B \(2 \mathrm{A}(3 \pi)\)
  3. C \(\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) \pi A\)
  4. D \((2 / 3) \pi A\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((2 / 3) \pi A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y=A \sin \left[\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}(v t-x)\right]\) \(v=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} V A\) \[ \begin{aligned} \left(v_{p}\right)_{\max } &=3 v \\ \lambda &=\frac{2 \pi}{3} A \end{aligned} \]
