The pattern of standing waves formed on a stretched string at two instants of time (extreme, mean) are shown in figure. The velocity of two waves superimposing to form stationary waves is $360\, ms^{-1}$ and their frequencies are $256\, Hz$. Which is not possible value of $t$ (in $\sec$) :-
$9.8 × 10^{-4}$
$10^{-3}$
$2.9 × 10^{-3}$
$4.9 × 10^{-3}$
Two identical piano wires, kept under the same tension $T$ have a fundamental frequency of $600\, Hz$. The fractional increase in the tension of one of the wires which will lead to occurrence of $6\, beats/s$ when both the wires oscillate together would be
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 ..... $ms^{-1}$
Beats are produced by two waves $y_1 = a\, sin\, (1000\, \pi t)$ and $y^2 = a\, sin\, (998\, \pi t)$ The number of beats heard per second is
A heavy rope is suspended from a rigid support. A transverse wave pulse is set up at the lower end, then
A metallic wire of length $L$ is fixed between two rigid supports. If the wire is cooled through a temperature difference $\Delta T (Y =$ young’s modulus, $\rho =$ density, $\alpha =$ coefficient of linear expansion) then the frequency of transverse vibration is proportional to :
