A uniform rope of length $L$ and mass $m_1$ hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass $m_2$ is attached to the free end of the rope. A transverse pulse of wavelength $\lambda _1$ is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is $\lambda _2$. The ratio $\lambda _2/\lambda _1$ is

  • A

    $\sqrt {\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}}} $

  • B

    $\sqrt {\frac{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}{{{m_2}}}} $

  • C

    $\sqrt {\frac{{{m_2}}}{{{m_1}}}} $

  • D

    $\sqrt {\frac{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}{{{m_1}}}} $
