    A transverse wave is described by the   equation,\[y={{y}_{0}}\sin 2\pi [x/\lambda )]\] The maximum particle velocity is equal to 4         times the wave velocity if:

    A)  \[\lambda =2\pi {{y}_{0}}\]                        

    B)  \[\lambda =\pi {{y}_{0}}\]

    C)  \[\lambda =\frac{\pi {{y}_{0}}}{4}\]                       

    D)  \[\lambda =\frac{\pi {{y}_{0}}}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    The given equation is: \[y={{y}_{0}}\,\sin \,2\pi \left( f\,t-\frac{x}{\lambda } \right)\] Wave velocity \[=f\lambda \], Particle velocity                 \[u=\frac{dy}{dt}={{y}_{0}}.\,2\pi f\,\cos 2\pi \left( ft-\frac{x}{\lambda } \right)\]                 \[u={{y}_{0}}2\pi f\] According to question \[{{y}_{0}}\,2\pi f=4f\lambda \] So, \[\lambda =\frac{\pi {{y}_{0}}}{2}\]
