In a standing wave on a string rigidly fixed at both ends

The stationary wave $y = 2a{\mkern 1mu} \,\,sin\,\,{\mkern 1mu} kx{\mkern 1mu} \,\,cos{\mkern 1mu} \,\omega t$ in a stretched string is the result of superposition of $y_1 = a\,sin\,(kx -\omega t)$ and

Two trains $A$ and $B$ initially $120\, km$ apart, start moving towards each other on the same track with a velocity of $60\, km/hr$ each. At the moment of start $A$ blows a whistle, which reflects on $B$ and subsequently reflects from $A$ and so on. Take the velocity of sound waves in air $1200\, km/hr$. The distance travelled by sound waves before the trains crash will be (in $km$)

The velocities of sound at the same pressure in two monatomic gases of densities ${\rho _1}$ and ${\rho _2}$ are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively. ${\rho _1}/{\rho _2} = 2$, then the value of $\frac{{{v_1}}}{{{v_2}}}$ is

The amplitude of a wave disturbance propagating in the positive $X-$ direction is given by $y = 1/(1 + x^2)$ at time $t = 0$ and by $y = 1/[1 + (x -1)^2]$ at $t = 2$ seconds, where $x$ and $y$ are in metres. The shape of the wave disturbance does not change during the propagation. The velocity of the wave is ….. $ms^{-1}$
