displacement amplitude A. For the wave the particle
velocity amplitude is ...... and the particle acceleration
amplitude is ..........

IIT JEEIIT JEE 1983Waves

Solution:

(a) Particle velocity amplitude means maximum speed
$ =\omega A=2 \pi vA $
(b) Particle acceleration amplitude
$ =\omega^2 A=4 \pi ^2v^2A $
