    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 in seconds. The maximum velocity of the wave will be :

    A)  \[1\,\text{m}{{\text{s}}^{-1}}\]                               

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

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

    D)  \[1.25\,\text{m}{{\text{s}}^{-1}}\]

    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, \[{{v}_{\max }}=a\omega \] \[=5\times 25\] \[=125\,cm{{s}^{-1}}=1.25\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]
