Wave Motion 1 Question 9
9. 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 1) of wavelength is produced at point on the rope. The pulse takes time to reach
point
(a) The time
(2017 Adv.)
(b) The wavelength of Pulse 1 becomes longer when it reaches point
(c) The velocity of any pulse along the rope is independent of its frequency and wavelength
(d) The velocities of the two pulses (Pulse 1 and Pulse 2) are the same at the mid-point of rope
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 9.
Solution:
, so speed at any position will be same for both pulses, therefore time taken by both pulses will be same.
since when pulse 1 reaches at
NOTE
If we refer velocity by magnitude only, then option
