Important Questions on Wave Motion on a String

MEDIUM
NEET
IMPORTANT

Assertion : Two waves moving in a uniform string having uniform tension can have different velocities.
Reason : Elastic and inertial properties of string are same for all waves in same string. Moreover, speed of wave in a string depends on its elastic and inertial properties only.

Assertion :In standing wave pattern particle of medium between two consecutive nodes vibrates in same phase but with different amplitude.

Reason : In stationary wave the amplitude of vibration does not depend on the position of the particle.

Points A&P1 moving (downward) and points C&P2 moving (upward).

Reason : In a wave propagating in positive x direction the points with +ve slope move downward and vice versa.

Assertion : In transverse wave particle velocity is perpendicular to the direction of wave velocity.

Reason : In wave motion energy always transferred in the direction of wave propagation.

IMPORTANT

Assertion : The wave function of a pulse is given by y=3(2x+3t+4) is propagates in (-ve x- direction)

Reason : The given wave function is of the form y=f(kx+ωt) which represent a wave travelling in negative x- direction.

IMPORTANT

Assertion : Standing waves do not transfered energy in the medium.

Reason : Every particle vibrates with its own energy and it does not share its energy with any other particle

HARD

IMPORTANT

Assertion : A wave can be represented by function y=f(kx±ωt). 

Reason : Because it satisfies the differential equation
2yx2=1v22yt2 where v=ωk
