    A Simple harmonic wave is represented by the relation\[y=a\sin 2\pi \left( pt-\frac{x}{\lambda } \right)\]where a and y are measured in cm and time\[t\]in seconds. The maximum particle velocity is five times the wave velocity. The wavelength of the wave is

    A)  \[\frac{2\pi a}{\sqrt{5}}cm\]

    B)  \[\frac{2\pi a}{5}cm\]

    C)  \[\frac{\pi a}{5}cm\]

    D)  \[2\sqrt{5}\pi a\,cm\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    : \[y=a\sin 2\pi \left( pt-\frac{x}{\lambda } \right)\] where\[p=\]frequency, \[2\pi p=\omega ,p=\frac{v}{\lambda }\] wave velocity \[=v\] particle velocity\[=\omega \sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}\] Maximum particle velocity\[{{V}_{m}}=\omega a\]     ...(i) Given : \[{{V}_{m}}=5v\] \[\therefore \]\[\omega a=5v\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[(2\pi p)a=5(p\lambda )\] or     \[2\pi a=5\lambda \] or \[\lambda =\frac{2\pi a}{5}cm\]
