Question

At a certain moment, the photograph of a string on which a harmonic wave is travelling to the right is shown. Then, which of the following is true regarding the velocities of the points P, Q and R on the string.

Options

A.vP is upwards
B.vQ = – vR
C.| vP | > | vQ | = | vR |
D.vQ = vR

Solution

Sol.

VQ = VR

$\because\left\lbrack \cos( - \theta) = \cos\theta \right\rbrack$

Vp> VQ [speed max. at y = 0]
