A long wire `PQR` is made by joining two wires `PQ` and `QR` of equal radii. `PQ` has length `4.8 m` and mass `0.06 kg`. `QR` has length `2.56m` and mass `0.2 kg`. The wire `PQR` is under a tension of `80N`. A sinusoidal wave-pulse of amplitude `3.5cm` is sent along the wire `PQ` from end `P`. No power is dissipated during the propagation of the wave-pulse. Calculate,
(a) the time taken by the wave-pulse to reach the other end `R` of the wire, and
(b) the amplitude of the reflected and transmitted wave-pulse after the incident wave-pulse crosses the joint `Q`.
