Figure shows the wave $y = A\,sin\,(\omega t -kx)$ .What is the magnitude of slope of the curved at $B$

A
$\frac {\omega }{A}$
B
$\frac {K }{A}$
C
$KA$
D
$\omega A$
Solution
Particle velocity is maximum at $\mathrm{B}$
$\left(\frac{\partial y}{\partial t}\right)_{\max }=\omega A$
wave velocity is $\frac{\partial \mathrm{x}}{\partial \mathrm{t}}=\frac{\omega}{\mathrm{k}}$
Slope $\frac{\partial y}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial y / \partial t}{\partial x / \partial t}=k A$
