- D 3 2 _ �
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
y = 3 sin _ � 2 ( 50 t _ x )
y = 3 sin _ ( 25 � t _ � 2 x ) on comparing with the standard wave equation
y = a sin _ ( _ t _ k x )
Wave velocity v = _ k = 25 � � / 2 = 50 m / sec
The velocity of particle
v p = � y � t = 75 � cos _ ( 25 � t _ � 2 x )
v p max = 75 �
then v p max v = 75 � 50 = 3 � 2
