Question

A triangular transvers wave is propagating in the positive X-direction Velocity of P at this instant will be- (A) Vertically upward (B) Vertically downward (C) At Rest (D) Cannot be determined

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Particle velocity =-( wave velocity ) × slope ∵ Slope =-ve so Particle velocity = vertical upward

Q. A triangular transvers wave is propagating in the positive $X$ -direction Velocity of $P$ at this instant will be-

Vertically upward

Vertically downward

At Rest

Cannot be determined

Particle velocity $= - ($ wave velocity $) \times$ slope
$∵$ Slope $= - v e$
so Particle velocity = vertical upward
