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

A copper wire is held at the two ends by rigid supports. At $50^{\circ} C$ the wire is just taut, with negligible tension. If $Y=1.2 \times 10^{11} \,N / m ^2, \alpha=1.6 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$ and $\rho=9.2 \times 10^3 \,kg / m ^3$, then the speed of transverse waves in this wire at $30^{\circ} C$ is .......... $m / s$

A steel wire has a length of $12$ $m$ and a mass of $2.10$ $kg$. What will be the speed of a transverse wave on this wire when a tension of $2.06{\rm{ }} \times {10^4}$ $\mathrm{N}$ is applied ?
