A transverse wave is described by the equation . The maximum particle velocity is equal to four times the wave velocity if


Important Questions on Wave Motion on a String


Two blocks each having a mass of are connected by a wire and the system is suspended from the ceiling by another wire (figure). The linear mass density of the wire is and that of is The speed of a transverse wave pulse produced in and in are :

A wave pulse is generated in a string that lies along -axis. At the points and , as shown in the figure, if and are the ratio of wave speed to the particle speed respectively then

Wave pulse on a string shown in the figure is moving to the right without changing shape. Consider two particles at positions and . Their transverse velocities at the moment shown in the figure are along with directions


A massless rod is suspended by two identical massless strings and of equal lengths. A block of mass is suspended point such that is equal to , if the fundamental frequency of the left wire is twice the fundamental frequency of right wire, then the value of is
