One end of two wires of the same metal and of the same length (with radius, and ) are joined together. The wire is used as a sonometer wire and the junction is placed in between two bridges. The tension is applied to the wire. If at a junction a node is formed then the ratio of a number of loops formed in the wires will be


Important Questions on Wave Motion on a String

A circular loop of rope of length rotates with uniform angular velocity about axis through its centre on a horizontal smooth platform. Velocity of pulse (with respect to rope) produced due to sight radial displacement is given by

Three waves of equal frequency having amplitudes , and arrive at a given point with a successive phase difference of . The amplitude of the resulting wave in is given by


A steel wire of length and mass and having a uniform cross-sectional area of is rigidly fixed at both ends. The temperature of the wire is lowered by if the transverse waves are set up plucking the string in the middle the frequency of the fundamental note of vibration is


A certain transverse sinusoidal wave of wavelength is moving in the positive direction. The transverse velocity of the particle at as a function of time is shown. The amplitude of the motion is
