A

`(5)/(pi)cm`

B

`(pi)/(2)cm`

C

`(10)/(pi)cm`

D

`2pi cm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
`V_(max)=Aomega=5 implies A(2pi)/(4)=5`
`implies A=(10)/(pi)cm`

A transverse sinusoidal wave of wavelength 20 cm is moving along a string towards increasing x. The transverse displacement of the string particle at as a function of time is shown in Figure. The equation of the wave with all the constants evaluated is:

Figure shows the position of a particle moving on the x - axis as a function of time

Figure shows the position of a particle moving on the X-axis as a function of time.

A transverse sinusoidal wave moves along a string in the positive x-direction at a speed of 10cm//s . The wavelength of the wave is 0.5 m and its amplitude is 10 cm . At a particular time t,the snapshot of the wave is shown in figure. The velocity of point P when its displacement is 5 cm is (a) sqrt(3pi)/(50)hatjm//s (b) -sqrt(3pi)/(50)hatjm//s (c) sqrt(3pi)/(50)hatim//s (d) -sqrt(3pi)/(50)hatim//s

A transverse wave of amplitude 2 m, wavelength 4 m and frequency 6 Hz is propagating in a string toward positive y-direction. The equation of the wave may be (y is in m and t is in s)

One end of a long string of linear mass density 10^(-2) kg m^(-1) is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency 150 Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containig a mass of 90 kg. the pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves from this end have neglidible amplitude , At t =0, the left end (fork end ) of the string is at x=0 has a transverse displacement of 2.5 cm and is moving along positive y-direction. the amplitude of the wave is 5 cm. write down the transverse displacement y (in cetimetres) as function of x(in metres) and t (in seconds ) that describes the wave on the string.

The velocity of a particle moving in the positive direction of x-axis veries as v=10sqrtx . Assuming that at t=0 , particle was at x=0

A transverse sinusoidal wave is generated at one end of a long horizontal string by a bar that moves the end up and down through a distance by 2.0 cm . the motion of bar is continuous and is repeated regularly 125 times per second. If klthe distance between adjacent wave crests is observed to be 15.6 cm and the wave is moving along positive x- direction, and at t=0 the element of the string at x=0 is at mean position y =0 and is moving downward, the equation of the wave is best described by

A particle located at x = 0 at time t = 0 , starts moving along with the positive x-direction with a velocity 'v' that varies as v = a sqrt(x) . The displacement of the particle varies with time as
