Question
In a wave motion, how does particle velocity relate to wave velocity?
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
On page 6, in the section 'Particle Velocity, Slope of y(x,t) with respect to x,' it explicitly states: '∂/∂t y(x,t) is the particle velocity. This is different from the wave velocity, v.'
Hint
Consider the distinction made between 'particle velocity' and 'wave velocity' in the document.
