Assertion : In a small segment of string carrying sinusoidal wave, total energy is conserved.
Reason: Every small part moves in and in SHM total energy is conserved.


Important Questions on Wave Motion on a String
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.

Assertion : The transverse wave is travelling along a string in the positive axis as shown
Points moving (downward) and points moving (upward).
Reason : In a wave propagating in positive direction the points with 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.

Assertion : The wave function of a pulse is given by is propagates in ( direction)
Reason : The given wave function is of the form which represent a wave travelling in negative - direction.

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

Assertion : A wave can be represented by function
Reason : Because it satisfies the differential equation
