    In a transverse progressive wave of amplitude A, the maximum particle velocity is four times its wave velocity. The wave- length of the wave is:

    A) \[2\pi A\]                                            

    B) \[\pi A\]                              

    C) \[\frac{\pi A}{2}\]                           

    D)        \[\frac{\pi A}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Here: Amplitude of the wave = A Maximum velocity \[{{\upsilon }_{1}}=4\upsilon \] (where \[\upsilon \] is velocity of wave) Maximum velocity relation is given by as \[{{\upsilon }_{1}}=a\omega \] or            \[\omega =\frac{4\upsilon }{A}\]                                                              ?(i) Hence, wavelength of the wave \[\lambda =\frac{\upsilon }{f}=\frac{\upsilon }{\omega /2\pi }=\frac{2\pi \upsilon }{\omega }\]     \[\left( \because \,f=\frac{\omega }{2\pi } \right)\] \[=\frac{2\pi \upsilon }{\frac{4\upsilon }{A}}=\frac{\pi A}{2}\]                     [from eq. (i)]
