The equation of a wave is y = 5 sin ; where x is in cm and t is in second. The maximum velocity of the wave will be
1 ms-1
2 ms-1
1.5 ms-1
1.25 ms-1
D.
1.25 ms-1
Equation of wave
y = 5 sin
The standard equation of a wave in the given form
y = sin
Comparing the given equation with the standard equation, we get
and
ω = 25
Therefore, maximum velocity of particles of the medium,
vmax =
= 5 × 125 cm s-1
vmax = 1.25 ms-1
