Options:
  • A $\frac{\mathrm{A}}{A}$
  • B $2 \mathrm{A}(3 \pi)$
  • C $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) \pi A$
  • D $(2 / 3) \pi A$

The correct answer is: $(2 / 3) \pi A$
$y=A \sin \left[\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}(v t-x)\right]$
$v=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} V A$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\left(v_{p}\right)_{\max } &=3 v \\
\lambda &=\frac{2 \pi}{3} A
\end{aligned}
$$
