Question

The ratio of maximum particle velocity to wave velocity is [where symbols have their usual meanings]

• A. $kA$
• B. $A\omega$
• C. $k\omega$
• D. $\frac{\omega }{k}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Maximum particle velocity $\left(v_y\right)=A\omega$
Wave velocity $(v)=\frac{\omega }{k}$
$\therefore \frac{v_y}{v}=A_k$
