Question
A travelling wave in a stretched string is described by the equation ; y = A sin(kx - ωt). The maximum particle velocity is
Options
A.Aω
B.ω/k
C.dω/dk
D.x/ω
Solution
This is equation of a travelling wave in which particles of the medium are in SHM and maximum particle velocity in SHm is Aω, where A is the amplitude and ω the angular velocity.
