STANDARD Physics Progressive Waves MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

A progressive wave is represented by y = 5sin (100πt − 2πx) where x and y are in m and t is in s. The maximum particle velocity is

A

100π m s⁻¹

B

200π m s⁻¹

C

400π m s⁻¹

D

500π m s⁻¹

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The given progressive wave is y = 5 sin(100πt − 2πx). The particle velocity is given by the derivative dy/dt = 500πcos(100πt − 2πx). The maximum particle velocity is 500π m s⁻¹.
