Question
CBSEENPH11026289

A transverse wave is represented by the equation   y = yo sin 2πλ vt - k.  For what value of λ  is the particle velocity equal to two times the wave velocity 

  • λ = π yo

  • λ = π yo2

  • λ = π yo3

  • λ = 2π i yo

Solution

A.

λ = π yo

A transeverse wave is described by equation

                y = yo sin 2π λ vt -  k 

Comparing the given equation of the standard equation of wave

         w yo = 2 v

           2πn yo = 2ny

          λ = π yo
