Wave pulse on a string shown in figure is moving to the right without changing shape. Consider two particles at positions x1 = 1.5 m and x2 = 2.5 m. Their transverse velocities at the moment shown in
Figure are along directions:
A
Positive y-axis and positive y-axis respectively.
B
Negative y-axis and positive y-axis respectively.
C
Positive y-axis and negative y-axis respectively.
D
Negative y-axis and negative y-axis respectively.
Answer
Negative y-axis and positive y-axis respectively.
Explanation
Solution
Dotted shape shows pulse position after a short time interval. Direction of the velocities are decided according to direction of displacements of the particles, as shown
