When a wave travels in a medium, the particle displacement is given by : $y = asin\, 2 \pi \,(bt -cx)$, where $a, b$ and $c$ are constants. The maximum particle velocity will be twice the wave velocity if
The velocities of sound at the same pressure in two monatomic gases of densities ${\rho _1}$ and ${\rho _2}$ are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively. ${\rho _1}/{\rho _2} = 2$, then the value of $\frac{{{v_1}}}{{{v_2}}}$ is
Equation of a plane progressive wave is given by $y = 0.6\sin 2\pi \left( {t - \frac{x}{2}} \right)$. On reflection from a denser medium its amplitude becomes $2/3$ of the amplitude of the incident wave. The equation of the reflected wave is
The stationary wave $y = 2a{\mkern 1mu} \,\,sin\,\,{\mkern 1mu} kx{\mkern 1mu} \,\,cos{\mkern 1mu} \,\omega t$ in a stretched string is the result of superposition of $y_1 = a\,sin\,(kx -\omega t)$ and
Given below are some functions of $x$ and $t$ to represent the displacement (transverse or longitudinal) of an elastic wave. State which of these represent a travelling wave
