As shown in the figure, two strings and of length and respectively are connected at and . is the junction of both strings. A tension of is maintained in both strings. The mass per unit length of strings and are and respectively. A pulse of amplitude is given at point it partly reflected and partially transmitted at . Then the amplitude of reflected and transmitted wave is:


Important Questions on Wave Motion on a String





Incident wave is reflected by an obstacle at which reduces intensity of reflected wave by Due to superposition, the resulting wave consists of a standing wave and a travelling wave given by where and c are positive constants.
Value of is
