Wave pulse on a string shown in figure is moving to the right without changing shape. Consider two particles at positions 
and 
. Their transverse velocities at the moment shown in figure are along directions
A
positive 
-axis and positive 
-axis respectively
-axis and positive -axis respectively
B
negative 
-axis and positive 
-axis respectively
-axis and positive -axis respectively
C
positive 
-axis and negative 
-axis respectively
-axis and negative -axis respectively
D
negative 
-axis and negative 
-axis respectively
-axis and negative -axis respectively
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Dotted shape shows pulse position after a short time interval. Direction of the velocities are decided according to direction of displacements of the particles.
