Figure here shows an incident pulse $P$ reflected from a rigid support. Which one of $A, B, C, D$ represents the reflected pulse correctly
In the figure shown a mass $1\ kg$ is connected to a string of mass per unit length $1.2\ gm/m$ . Length of string is $1\ m$ and its other end is connected to the top of a ceiling which is accelerating up with an acceleration $2\ m/s^2$ . A transverse pulse is produced at the lowest point of string. Time taken by pulse to reach the top of string is .... $s$
A string of length $1 \mathrm{~m}$ and mass $2 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~kg}$ is under tension $\mathrm{T}$. when the string vibrates, two successive harmonics are found to occur at frequencies $750 \mathrm{~Hz}$ and $1000 \mathrm{~Hz}$. The value of tension $\mathrm{T}$ is. . . . . . .Newton.
Explain which properties are necessary to understand the speed of mechanical waves.
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 wave length of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is $\lambda _2$. The ratio $\lambda _2\,/\,\lambda _1$ is
The transverse displacement of a string (clamped at its both ends) is given by
$y(x, t)=0.06 \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi}{3} x\right) \cos (120 \pi t)$
where $x$ and $y$ are in $m$ and $t$ in $s$. The length of the string is $1.5\; m$ and its mass is $3.0 \times 10^{-2}\; kg$
Answer the following:
$(a)$ Does the function represent a travelling wave or a stationary wave?
$(b)$ Interpret the wave as a superposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions. What is the wavelength, frequency, and speed of each wave?
$(c)$ Determine the tension in the string.
