    What is the relation between particle velocity (v), the wave velocity  and the slope (s) of the wave?

    A)  \[v=-cs\]         

    B)  \[c=-vs\]

    C)  \[{{v}^{2}}={{c}^{2}}s\]       

    D)  \[{{c}^{2}}={{v}^{2}}s\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Let the wave equation \[y=A\sin (\omega t-kx)\] then \[v=\frac{dy}{dt}A\omega \cos (\omega t-kx)\] and \[s=\frac{dy}{dx}Ak\cos (\omega t-kx)\] \[=\frac{-kv}{\omega }=-\frac{v}{c}\] \[v=-cs\]
