The equation of a simple harmonic wave is given by

y = 3\sin \frac{\pi }{2}\left( {50t - x} \right)

Where x and y are in metres and t is in seconds. The ratio of maximum particle velocity to the wave velocity is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\frac{3}{2}\pi

Option D (

\frac{3}{2}\pi

) is correct because the ratio of maximum particle velocity to wave velocity is calculated using the given wave equation.
