Equation of the wave is represented by:
y = A sin (ωt – kx)
Differentiating it with respect to t, we get
O = A cos (ωt – kx) [ω – k.dx/dt]
And the velocity of wave,
dx/dy = ω/k
Similarly the velocity of the particle
dx/dy = ωA cos (ωt – kx)
And the acceleration of a point particle is given by
d2y/dt2 = ω2 A sin (ωt – kx) ….(i)
Differentiating the y with respect to x
dx/dy = -Ak cos (ωt – kx)
and d2y/dx2 = -Ak2 sin (ωt – kx) …(ii)
From eqn. (i) and eqn. (ii) we get
d2y/dx2 = v2 d2y/dx2
