Important Questions on Wave Motion on a String
In the given figure the string has mass . If the time taken by a transverse pulse produced at the floor to reach the pulley is ms then is : .

A string vibrate according to the equation where and are in and is in second.
Velocity of the particle of the string at the position when is , then is?



The figure shows a snap photograph of a vibrating string at . The particle is observed moving up with velocity . The tangent at makes an angle with -axis (i) Find the direction in which the wave is moving (ii) the equation of the wave (iii) the total energy carried by the wave per cycle of the string. [Assuming that , the mass per unit length of the string


The displacement of the medium in a sound wave is given by the equation where , and are positive constants. The wave is reflected by an obstacle situated a . The intensity of the reflected wave is times that of the incident wave. If
(i) the wavelength and frequency of incident wave are respectively.
(ii) the equation for the reflected wave is
(iii) In the resultant wave formed after reflection, the maximum and minimum values of the particle speeds in the medium are .
(iv) the resultant wave as a superposition of a standing wave and a travelling wave is.
then find .
