    The equation of a wave is \[y=5\,\sin \,\left( \frac{t}{0.04}-\frac{x}{4} \right);\] where, x is in cm and t is in second. The maximum velocity of the wave will be

    A)  \[1\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]        

    B)                        \[2\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    C)  \[1.5\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]                       

    D)         \[1.25\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Equation of wave \[y=5\,\sin \left( \frac{t}{0.04}-\frac{x}{4} \right)\] The standard equation of a wave in the given form is \[y=a\sin \left( \omega t-\frac{2\pi x}{\lambda } \right)\] Comparing the given equation with the standard equation, we get \[a=5\] and \[\omega =\frac{1}{0.04}=25\] Therefore, maximum velocity of particles of the medium, \[{{v}_{\max }}=a\omega =5\times 25=125\,cm{{s}^{-1}}=1.25\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]
