Spacing between two successive nodes in a standing wave on a string is $x$. If the frequency of the standing wave is kept unchanged but the tension in the string is doubled,then the new spacing between successive nodes will become

  • A
    $x/\sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}x$
  • C
    $x/2$
  • D
    $2x$

Two sinusoidal waves with same wavelengths and amplitudes travel in opposite directions along a string with a speed $10 \, ms^{-1}$. If the minimum time interval between two instants when the string is flat is $0.5 \, s$,the wavelength of the waves is .... $m$

One end of a taut string of length $3 \ m$ along the $x$-axis is fixed at $x=0$. The speed of the waves in the string is $100 \ m/s$. The other end of the string is vibrating in the $y$-direction so that stationary waves are set up in the string. The possible waveform$(s)$ of these stationary waves is (are):
$(A)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{\pi x}{6} \cos \frac{50 \pi t}{3}$
$(B)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{\pi x}{3} \cos \frac{100 \pi t}{3}$
$(C)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{5 \pi x}{6} \cos \frac{250 \pi t}{3}$
$(D)$ $y(x,t) = A \sin \frac{5 \pi x}{2} \cos 250 \pi t$

The equation $y = 0.15 \sin(5x) \cos(300t)$ describes a stationary wave. The wavelength of the stationary wave is .... $m$.

$A$ stationary wave is represented by $y = A \sin(100t) \cos(0.01x)$,where $y$ and $A$ are in millimetres,$t$ is in seconds,and $x$ is in metres. The velocity of the constituent wave is ........... $m/s$.

Plane microwaves from a transmitter are directed normally towards a plane reflector. $A$ detector moves along the normal to the reflector. Between positions of $14$ successive maxima,the detector travels a distance of $0.13\, m$. If the velocity of light is $3 \times 10^8\, m/s$,find the frequency of the transmitter.
