    A travelling wave in a stretched string is described by the equation\[y=A\sin (kx-\omega t)\]. The maximum particle velocity is [IIT 1997 Re-Exam; UPSEAT 2004]

    A)            Aw

    B)            w/k

    C)            dw/dk                                     

    D)            x/t

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Given \[y=A\sin (kx-\omega t)\]                    \[\Rightarrow \] \[v=\frac{dy}{dt}\]= \[-A\omega \cos (kx-\omega \,t)\]:  Þ \[{{v}_{\max }}=A\omega \]
