When a wave travels in a medium, the particle displacement is given by the equationY=asin⁡2πbt-cxwhere,a, bandcare constant. The maximum particle velocity will be twice the wave velocity, if

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Given,Y=asin⁡2πbt-cx...(i)

and standard formY=Asin⁡ωt-kx

Thus, we have

ω=2πbandK=2πc

or2πλ=2πc⇒c=1λ

∴ Speed of wave,

v=ωK=2πb2πc=bc

Differentiating Equation (i) w.r.t.t, we get

dYdt=Speed of particle,

vp=acos⁡2πbt-cx⋅2πb

vp=2πabcos⁡2πbt-cx

Forvpmax=2πab

According to the question's condition,

vpmax=2v

⇒2πab=2⋅bc(Putting values)

⇒πa=1corac=1π
