    The equation of a travelling wave is : y = 60 cos (18001 - 6x)where y is in microns, t in second and x in metres. The ratio of maximum particle velocity to velocity of wave propagation is :

    A)  3.6                                        

    B)  \[3.6\times {{10}^{-4}}\]

    C)  \[3.6\times {{10}^{-6}}\]                             

    D) \[3.6\times {{10}^{11}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: The first idea is that the standard equation of travelling wave is \[y=A\,\cos \,\,(\omega t-kx)\] Compare given equation \[y=60\times {{10}^{-6}}\,\cos \,(1800t-6x)\mu m\] with standard equation, we have \[\omega =1800\,rad/s\] \[A=60\times {{10}^{-6}}m,\,k=6{{m}^{-1}}\] Key Idea: The second idea is that the velocity of wave propagation is just the ratio of angular velocity and propagation constant and maximum particle velocity is \[A\omega \]. \[\text{Velocity}\,\,\text{of}\,\,\text{propagation=}\frac{\text{Angular}\,\text{vevlocity}}{\text{Propagtion}\,\text{constant}}\]\[v=\frac{\omega }{k}\]                                                 \[=\frac{1800}{6}=300m/s\] Maximum particle velocity                 \[{{v}_{\max }}=A\omega \]                 \[=60\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 1800m/s\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{v}_{\max }}}{v}=\frac{60\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 1800}{300}\]                 \[=3.6\times {{10}^{-4}}\]
