Wave Motion 1 Question 9

9. A block M 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 O. A transverse wave pulse (Pulse 1) of wavelength λ0 is produced at point O on the rope. The pulse takes time TOA to reach

point A. If the wave pulse of wavelength λ0 is produced at point A (Pulse 2) without disturbing the position of M it takes time TAO to reach point O. Which of the following options is/are correct?

(a) The time TAO=TOA

(2017 Adv.)

(b) The wavelength of Pulse 1 becomes longer when it reaches point A

(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. (a,c,d)

Solution:

  1. v=Tμ, so speed at any position will be same for both pulses, therefore time taken by both pulses will be same.

λf=vλ=vfλvT

since when pulse 1 reaches at A tension and hence speed decreases therefore λ decreases.

NOTE

If we refer velocity by magnitude only, then option (a,c,d) will be correct, else only (a,c) will be correct.
