A transverse wave is travelling along a string from left to right. The figure below represents the shape of the string at a given instant. At this instant, among the following, choose the wrong statement –
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Particle velocity, 
or 
wave velocity 
slope of the wave
For upward velocity, 
, so slope
must negative which is at the points D. E and F.
For downward velocity, 
, so slope must be positive which is at the points A, B and 
.
For zero velocity, slope must be zero which is at C and 
.
For maximum magnitude of velocity,
slope 
maximum, which is at A and E.
Hence, alternative is wrong.
