    A transverse wave is described by the equation\[y={{y}_{0}}\sin 2\pi \left( ft-\frac{x}{\lambda } \right).\]The maximum particle velocity is equal to four times the wave velocity, if

    A)  \[\lambda =\frac{\pi {{y}_{0}}}{4}\]       

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

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

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

    E)  \[\lambda =\frac{2\pi {{y}_{0}}}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[y={{y}_{0}}\sin 2\pi \left( ft-\frac{x}{\lambda } \right)\]                                             ?? (i) For particle velocity,                 \[\frac{dy}{dt}=2\pi f{{y}_{0}}\cos 2\pi \left( ft-\frac{x}{\lambda } \right)\] Maximum particle velocity,                 \[{{\left( \frac{dy}{dt} \right)}_{\max }}=2\pi f{{y}_{0}}\] Wave velocity\[=f\lambda \] Accordingly,                 \[2\pi f{{y}_{0}}=4(f\lambda )\] Or           \[\lambda =\frac{\pi {{y}_{0}}}{2}\]
