Acceleration of Particle in Wave Motion

Acceleration of Particle in Wave Motion

### Formula

$$a_p=\frac{\partial^2y}{\partial t^2}$$

### For Wave Equation

$$a_p=-\omega^2y$$

### Terminologies

- ap → Particle acceleration.

- ω → Angular frequency.

- y → Particle displacement.

### Conditions / Special Cases

- Acceleration is opposite to displacement.

$$a_p\propto-y$$

### Usage

- Used in wave particle motion problems.
