$A$ transverse sinusoidal wave of amplitude '$a$',wavelength $\lambda$,and frequency $f$ is travelling on a stretched string. The maximum speed at any point on the string is $v/10$,where $v$ is the speed of propagation of the wave. If $a = 10^{-3} \ m$ and $v = 10 \ ms^{-1}$,then $\lambda$ and $f$ are given by:

For a wave propagating in a medium, identify the property that is independent of the others.

$A$ travelling wave passes a point of observation. At this point,the time interval between successive crests is $0.2 \ s$. Which of the following is true?

You have learnt that a travelling wave in one dimension is represented by a function $y=f(x, t)$ where $x$ and $t$ must appear in the combination $x-vt$ or $x+vt$,i.e.,$y=f(x \pm vt)$. Is the converse true? Examine if the following functions for $y$ can possibly represent a travelling wave:
$(a)$ $(x-vt)^2$
$(b)$ $\log[(x+vt)/x_0]$
$(c)$ $1/(x+vt)$

The equation of a wave is $y = 2 \sin \pi (0.5x - 200t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are expressed in $cm$ and $t$ in $sec$. The wave velocity is ...... $cm/sec$.
