The equation of travelling wave is y = 60 cos (1800 t - 6x) , where y is in microns, t in seconds and x in metres. The ratio of maximum particle velocity to velocity of wave propagation is :

Answer»

`3.6`
`3.6 xx 10^(-6)`
`(3.6 xx 10^(-11))`
`3.6 xx 10^(-4)`.

Solution :y = 60 cos (1800 t - 6x )
COMPARING it with y = r cos `(omega t - kx)`
r = `60 xx 10^(-6) m "" omega= 1800 s^(-1) k = 6 m^(-1) `
v = `(omega)/(K) = (1800)/(6)= 300 MS^(-1)`.
now maximum particle velocity `V_(max).= r omega`
= 60 `xx 10^(-6) xx 1800 = 108 xx 10^(-3)`.
Now`(V_(max))/(v) = (108 xx 10^(-3))/(300) = 36 xx 10^(-5) = 3.6 xx 10^(-4)`
correct CHOICE is (d).
