NEETPhysicsWaves and Sound
A transverse sinusoidal wave moves along a string in the positive x -direction at a speed of 10 ~cm / s . The wavelength of the wave is 0.5 ~m and its amplitude is 10 ~cm . At a particular time t , the snap-shot of the wave is shown in figure. The velocity of point P when its displacement is 5 ~cm is
Options
- A3 50 j m / s
- B- 3 50 j ~m / s
- C3 50 i m / s
- D- 3 50 i m / s
Correct answer
A. 3 50 j m / s
Step-by-step solution
Particle velocity v_p=-v (slope of y-x graph) Here, v=+v e , as the wave is travelling in positive x -direction. Slope at P is negative. Velocity of particle is in positive y(+ j ) direction. correct option is (a).
