$A$ pulse is generated at the lower end of a hanging rope of uniform density and length $L$. The speed of the pulse when it reaches the midpoint of the rope is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{2 g L}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{g L}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{g L}{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{g L}}{2}$

$A$ string of length $0.4\, m$ and mass $10^{-2}\, kg$ is tightly clamped at its ends. The tension in the string is $1.6\, N$. Identical wave pulses are produced at one end at equal intervals of time $\Delta t$. The minimum value of $\Delta t$ which allows constructive interference between successive pulses is .... $s$

$A$ string of mass $0.1 \, kg$ is under a tension $1.6 \, N$. The length of the string is $1 \, m$. $A$ transverse wave starts from one end of the string. The time taken by the wave to reach the other end is (in $s$.)

Which of the following is an example of a transverse wave?

$A$ wire of linear mass density $\mu = 10^{-2} \, kg \, m^{-1}$ passes over a frictionless light pulley fixed on the top of a frictionless inclined plane which makes an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal. Masses $m$ and $M$ are tied at two ends of the wire such that $m$ rests on the plane and $M$ hangs freely vertically downwards. The entire system is in equilibrium and a transverse wave propagates along the wire with a velocity of $100 \, m \, s^{-1}$.

The percentage increase in the speed of transverse waves produced in a stretched string if the tension is increased by $4\, \%$,will be ......... $\%$
