                    A transverse wave is represented by the equation                 \[y={{y}_{0}}\sin \frac{2\pi }{\lambda }(vt-x)\]                 For what value of \[\lambda \] is the maximum particle velocity equal to two times the wave velocity?

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

    B)                 \[\lambda =\frac{\pi {{v}_{0}}}{3}\]

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

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    The given equation is                 \[y={{y}_{0}}\sin \,\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }(vt-x)\]                                .....(i)                 In the wave equation v is the particle velocity.                 Differentiating Eq. (i) with respect to time,                 \[u=\frac{dy}{dx}={{y}_{0}}\frac{2\pi v}{\lambda }\cos \frac{2\pi }{\lambda }(vt-x)\]                 Maximum particle velocity, \[{{u}_{\max }}={{y}_{0}}\frac{2\pi v}{\lambda }\]                 Now it is given that,                 maximum particle velocity \[=2\times \] wave velocity \[or{{y}_{0}}\frac{2\pi v}{\lambda }=2v\] \[or\lambda =\pi {{y}_{0}}\]
