Particle Velocity in Wave Motion

Particle Velocity in Wave Motion

### Formula

$$v_p=\frac{\partial y}{\partial t}$$

### For Wave Equation

$$v_p=A\omega\cos(\omega t-kx)$$

### Terminologies

- vp → Particle velocity.

- A → Amplitude.

- ω → Angular frequency.

### Conditions / Special Cases

- Particle velocity is different from wave velocity.

### Usage

- Used in advanced wave problems.
