Question
In a travelling one-dimensional mechanical sinusoidal wave
Options
A.potential energy and kinetic energy of an element become maximum simultaneously.
B.all particles oscillate with the same frequency and the same amplitude
C.all particles may come to rest simultaneously
D.we can find two particles, in a length equal to half of a wavelength, which have the same non zero acceleration simultaneously.
Solution
Sol. 
(A) When particle crosses M.P. e.g. at A,B,C,D
(D) ap = ω2y
Particle E & F have same y co-ordinate,
So they have same acceleration.
