$A$ longitudinal wave is represented by $x=x_0 \sin 2 \pi(n t-x / \lambda)$. The maximum particle velocity will be four times the wave velocity if:

  • A
    $\lambda=\frac{\pi x_0}{4}$
  • B
    $\lambda=2 \pi x_0$
  • C
    $\lambda=\frac{\pi x_0}{2}$
  • D
    $\lambda=4 \pi x_0$

$A$ transverse sinusoidal wave of amplitude '$a$',wavelength $\lambda$,and frequency $f$ is travelling on a stretched string. The maximum speed at any point on the string is $v/10$,where $v$ is the speed of propagation of the wave. If $a = 10^{-3} \ m$ and $v = 10 \ ms^{-1}$,then $\lambda$ and $f$ are given by:

For a wave equation $y = 8 \sin 2\pi (0.1x - 2t) \, cm$,find the phase difference in $^\circ$ between two particles separated by a distance of $2 \, cm$.
