$A$ rope of length $L$ and mass $M$ hangs freely from the ceiling. If the time taken by a transverse wave to travel from the bottom to the top of the rope is $T$,then the time taken to cover the first half length is:

  • A
    $T$
  • B
    $T\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$
  • C
    $\frac{T}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{T}{2}$

$A$ wire of linear mass density $\mu = 10^{-2} \, kg \, m^{-1}$ passes over a frictionless light pulley fixed on the top of a frictionless inclined plane which makes an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal. Masses $m$ and $M$ are tied at two ends of the wire such that $m$ rests on the plane and $M$ hangs freely vertically downwards. The entire system is in equilibrium and a transverse wave propagates along the wire with a velocity of $100 \, m \, s^{-1}$.

$A$ string of length $1 \,m$ and mass $490 \,g$ is put under a tension of $25 \,N$. $A$ wave of frequency $120 \,Hz$ is sent along it. The speed of this wave is (in $\,m/s$)

$Assertion :$ Two waves moving in a uniform string having uniform tension cannot have different velocities.
$Reason :$ Elastic and inertial properties of string are same for all waves in same string. Moreover,the speed of a wave in a string depends on its elastic and inertial properties only.

Two strings $A$ and $B$ of the same material are stretched by the same tension. The radius of string $A$ is double the radius of string $B$. $A$ transverse wave travels on string $A$ with speed $V_A$ and on string $B$ with speed $V_B$. The ratio $\frac{V_A}{V_B}$ is:

The equation of a travelling wave on a stretched string of linear mass density $5 \, g/m$ is $y = 0.03 \sin(450t - 9x)$,where distance and time are measured in $SI$ units. The tension in the string is ... $N$.
