Question
A transverse wave is travelling along a string from left to right. The adjoining figure represents the shape of the string at a given instant. At this instant, among the following, choose the wrong statement.

Answer
Particle velocity $, \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dt}}=-v\left(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\right)$
or $\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dt}}=-$ wave velocity $\times$ slope of the wave
$(1)$ For upward velocity, $v_{\mathrm{Pa}}=+\mathrm{ve},$ so slope must be negative which is at the points $D,$ $\mathrm{E}$ and $\mathrm{F}$
$(2)$ For downward velocity, $v_{\mathrm{Pa}}=-\mathrm{ve},$ so slope must be positive which is at the points $A, B$ and $\mathrm{H}$
$(3)$ For zero velocity, slope must be zero which is at $\mathrm{C}$ and $\mathrm{G}$
$(4)$ For maximum magnitude to velocity. $|$ slope $|=$ maximum, which is at $A$ and $\mathrm{E}$. Hence, alternative is wrong.
