In a transverse wave the distance between a crest and neighbouring trough at the same instant is $4.0\, cm$ and the distance between a crest and trough at the same place is $1 .0\, cm$ . The next crest appears at the same place after a time interval of $0.4\,s$. The maximum speed of the vibrating particles in the medium is
  • A$\frac{{3\pi }}{2}\,cm/s$
  • B$\frac{{5\pi }}{2}\,cm/s$
  • C$\frac{{\pi }}{2}\,cm/s$
  • D$2\pi \,cm/s$
