A transvers disturbance is sent along a ...

A transvers disturbance is sent along a sonometer wire of length 1m, and linear density of `0.25` gram/ metre, streteched with a tension of 10 N. What is the time taken by the transverse disturbance to travel along the wire ?

A

`(1)/(200) s`

B

`(1)/(100) s`

C

`(1)/(300) s`

D

`(3)/(100) s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`V = sqrt(T/m) = sqrt(10/(25 xx 10^(-5))) = 200` m/s
` :. " time" = "distance"/"velocity" = 1/200 ` s
