As shown in the figure, two strings P and Q of length 1 m and 12 m respectively are connected at A and B. R is the junction of both strings. A tension of 100 N is maintained in both strings.  The mass per unit length of strings P and Q are 0.16 kg m-1 and 0.25 kg m-1 respectively. A pulse of amplitude 2 mm is given at point A it partly reflected and partially transmitted at R. Then the amplitude of reflected and transmitted wave is:
