Question
A stone thrown into still water, creates a circular wave pattern moving radially out wards. If r is the distance measured from the center of the pattern.the amplitude of the wave arises as :
Options
A.r-1/2
B.r-1
C.r-2
D.r-3/2
Solution
Energy of crest (P.E) = (2πr. dr × h × ρ) × g × h
Now, as crest spread, this energy Eremain contant. So,
2π rdrh2 ρg = E
⇒ h =
or h ∝ r-1/2Create a free account to view solution
