Two symmetrical and identical pulses in a stretched string, whose centres are initially 8 cm apart, are moving towards each other as shown in the figure. The speed of each pulse is 2 cm s-1. After 2 seconds, the total energy of the pulses will be

A sonometer wire resonates with a given tuning fork forming standing waves with five antinodes between the two bridges when a mass of $9$ $ \mathrm{kg}$ is suspended from the wire. When this mass is replaced by a mass ${M}$, the wire resonates with the same tuning fork forming three antinodes for the same positions of the bridges. The value of ${M}$ is,

IMPORTANT

Assertion : Electromagnetic waves exert pressure called radiation pressure.

Reason : This is because they carry energy.

IMPORTANT

Assertion : In a small segment of string carrying sinusoidal wave, total energy is conserved.

Reason: Every small part moves in SHM and in SHM total energy is conserved.

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.

IMPORTANT

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.

IMPORTANT

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.
