In the figure shown a sinusoidal wave is generated at the end `'A'`. The wave travels along positive `x-`axis and during its motions it encounter another string `BC` at the junction `'B'` at `x = 0`. The density of strings `AB` and `BC` and `rho` and `9rho` respectively and their radii of cross sections are `2r` and `r`. The wave funcation. amplitude and wavelength of incident wavs are respectively `y_(r), A_(r), lambda_(r)` and `y_(t), A_(t), lambda_(t)` repectively

Which of the following statement regarding phase difference, `Deltaphi` between waves at `x = 0` is true ?

A

`Deltaphi = 0`, between `y_(i)` and `y_(r)`

B

`Deltaphi = 0`, between `y_(r)` and `y_(t)`

C

`Deltaphi = pi`, between `y_(i)` and `y_(t)`

D

`Deltaphi = pi`, between `y_(t)` and `y_(t)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Medium of string `BC` is denser. These will be `pi` phase difference between reflected and transmitted wave.
`(lambda_(r))/(lambda_(t)) = (v_(1))/(v_(2)) = sqrt((mu_(2))/(mu_(1)))`
Now `(mu_(1))/(mu_(2)) = (4)/(9)` so `(lambda_(r))/(lambda_(t)) = (3)/(2)`
`(A_(r))/(A_(t)) = ((v_(2)-v_(1))/(v_(1)+v_(2))Ai)/((2v_(2))/(v_(1)+v_(2)).Ai)=(v_(2)-v_(1))/(2v_(2))=(1)/(4)`
