NEET2010PhysicsWaves and SoundActual
The equation of a wave is y=5 ( t 0.04 - x 4 ) ; where, x is in cm and t is in second. The maximum velocity of the wave will be
Options
- A1 ~ms ⁻¹
- B2 ~ms ⁻¹
- C1.5 ~ms ⁻¹
- D1.25 ~ms ⁻¹
Correct answer
D. 1.25 ~ms ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
Equation of wave y=5 ( t 0.04 - x 4 ) The standard equation of a wave in the given form is y=a ( t- 2 x ) Comparing the given equation with the standard equation, we get a=5 and = 1 0.04 =25 Therefore, maximum velocity of particles of the medium, v_ =a =5 25=125 cms ⁻¹=1.25 ~ms ⁻¹
