If the initial tension on a stretched string is doubled,then the ratio of the initial and final speeds of a transverse wave along the string is:

  • A
    $ \sqrt{2} : 1 $
  • B
    $ 1 : \sqrt{2} $
  • C
    $ 1 : 2 $
  • D
    $ 1 : 1 $

The equation of a transverse wave propagating along a stretched string of length $80 \ cm$ is $y=1.5 \sin \{(5 \times 10^{-3} x) + 20 t\}$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $cm$ and the time $t$ is in seconds. If the mass of the string is $3 \ g$,then the tension in the string is: (in $N$)

$A$ 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 $m$)
