$A$ transverse wave is described by the equation $y = y_0 \sin 2 \pi \left( \nu t - \frac{x}{\lambda} \right)$. The maximum particle velocity is equal to four times the wave velocity if $\lambda =$

  • A
    $\lambda = \frac{\pi y_0}{4}$
  • B
    $\lambda = \frac{\pi y_0}{2}$
  • C
    $\lambda = 2 \pi y_0$
  • D
    $\lambda = \frac{\pi}{y_0}$
