An object of specific gravity is hung from a thin steel wire. The fundamental frequency for transverse standing waves in the wire is . The object is immersed in water so that one half of its volume is submerged. The new fundamental frequency (in ) is:


Important Questions on Wave Motion on a String
A circular loop of rope of length rotates with uniform angular velocity about axis through its centre on a horizontal smooth platform. Velocity of pulse (with respect to rope) produced due to sight radial displacement is given by

Three waves of equal frequency having amplitudes , and arrive at a given point with a successive phase difference of . The amplitude of the resulting wave in is given by


A steel wire of length and mass and having a uniform cross-sectional area of is rigidly fixed at both ends. The temperature of the wire is lowered by if the transverse waves are set up plucking the string in the middle the frequency of the fundamental note of vibration is


A certain transverse sinusoidal wave of wavelength is moving in the positive direction. The transverse velocity of the particle at as a function of time is shown. The amplitude of the motion is
