Instantaneous profile of a rope carrying a progressive wave moving from left to right is shown, Find the correct option:

Answer»

Both P and Q are moving UPWARDS
Both P and Q are moving downwards
P is moving upwards and Q is moving downwards
P is moving downwards and Q is moving upwards

Solution :`V_p=-`(WAVE speed)(slope)
Slope at `P` is positive, `V_p` at `P` is NEGATIVE
Slope at `Q` is negative `V_P` at `Q` is positive.
So, `P` is moving downwards and `Q` is moving upwards.
