Consider an element of a stretched string along which a wave travels. During its transverse oscillatory motion, the element passes through a point at and reaches its maximum at . Then, the string element has its maximum


Important Questions on Wave Motion on a String

A massless rod is suspended by two identical massless strings and of equal lengths. A block of mass is suspended point such that is equal to , if the fundamental frequency of the left wire is twice the fundamental frequency of right wire, then the value of is:

A transverse sinusoidal wave moves along a string in the positive -direction at a speed of . The wavelength of the wave is and its amplitude is At a particular time the snap-shot of the wave is shown in the figure. The velocity of point when its displacement is is
Figure:

A long string, having a mass of , is fixed at both ends. The tension in the string is . The string is set into vibration using an external vibrator of frequency . Find the separation (in ) between the successive nodes on the string.

A horizontal stretched string fixed at two ends, is vibrating in its fifth harmonic according to the equation Assuming the correct statement is (are)


A block hangs vertically at the bottom end of a uniform rope of constant mass per unit length. The top end of the rope is attached to a fixed rigid support at . A transverse wave pulse (Pulse ) of wavelength is produced at point on the rope. The pulse takes time to reach point . If the wave pulse of wavelength is produced at point (Pulse ) without disturbing the position of it takes time to reach point . Which of the following options is/are correct.
