$A$ composite string is made up by joining two strings of different mass per unit length,$\mu$ and $4\mu$. The composite string is under the same tension $T$. $A$ transverse wave pulse,$Y = (6 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t + 40x)$,where $t$ is in seconds and $x$ is in meters,is sent along the lighter string towards the joint. The joint is at $x = 0$. The equation of the wave pulse reflected from the joint is:

  • A
    $(2 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t - 40x)$
  • B
    $(4 \text{ mm}) \sin(40x - 5t)$
  • C
    $-(2 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t - 40x)$
  • D
    $(2 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t - 10x)$

The linear density of a vibrating string is $1.3 \times 10^{-4} \, kg/m$. $A$ transverse wave is propagating on the string and is described by the equation $Y = 0.021 \, \sin(x + 30t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are measured in meters and $t$ in seconds. The tension in the string is ..... $N$.

The equation of a transverse wave propagating on a stretched string is given by $y = 3 \sin (4x + 200t)$, where $x$ and $y$ are in metres and the time $t$ is in seconds. If the tension applied to the string is $500 \ N$, the linear density of the string is: (in $kg \ m^{-1}$)

$A$ uniform rope of length $12 \ m$ and mass $6 \ kg$ hangs vertically from a rigid support. $A$ block of mass $2 \ kg$ is attached to the free end of the rope. $A$ transverse pulse of wavelength $0.06 \ m$ is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is (in $m$)

If the tension in a wire is made four times,then what will be the change in the speed of the wave propagating in it?
