MCQ
During propagation of a plane progressive mechanical wave:
  • A
    All the particles are vibrating in the same phase.
  • B
    Amplitude of all the particles is equal.
  • C
    Particles of the medium executes S.H.M.
  • D
    Wave velocity depends upon the nature of the medium.

Answer

  1. Amplitude of all the particles is equal.
  2. Particles of the medium executes S.H.M.
  3. Wave velocity depends upon the nature of the medium.

Explanation:

During propagation of mechanical wave each particles displaces from zero to maximum i.e., upto amplitude So amplitude of each particle is equal. Verifies the option (b).

For progressive wave medium particles oscillates about their mean position in which restoring force $\text{F}\propto(-\text{y}).$ So motion of medium particles is simple harmonic motion. So verifies the option(c).For progressive wave propagating in a medium of density $(\rho)$ and Bulk modulus k the velocity $(\nu)$

As the depends on k and $(\rho)$ and k, $(\rho)$ are different for different medium so of wave depends on nature of medium, hence, verifies the option (d).
