A string of length 0.4 m and mass 10^(-2...

A string of length `0.4 m` and mass `10^(-2) kg` is clamped at one end . The tension in the string is `1.6 N`. The identical wave pulses are generated at the free end after regular interval of time , `Delta t` . The minimum value of `Delta t` , so that a constructive interference takes place between successive pulses is

A

0.05 s

B

0.10 s

C

0.20 s

D

0.40 s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Mass per unit length of the string
`m =(10^(-2))/(0.4)=2.5 xx10^(-2)kg//m`
`:.` Velocity of wave in the string
`v=sqrt((T)/(m))=sqrt((1.6)/(2.5xx10^(-3)))rArr v=8m//s`
For constructive interference between successive pulses
`Delta t_(min)=(2l)/(v)=((2)(0.4))/(8)=0.10s`
After two reflections, the wave pulse is in same phase as it was produced, since in one reflection its phase changes by `pi`, and if at this moment next identical pulse is produced, then constructive interference will be obtained.

One end of a long string of linear mass density 8.0 xx 10^(-3) kg m^(-1) is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency 256Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of 90kg. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves at this end have negligible amplitude. At t=0, the left end (fork end) of the string x=0 has zero transverse displacement (y=0) and is moving along positive y-direction. The amplitude of the wave is 5.0 cm. Write down the transverse displacement y as function of x and t that describes the wave on the string.
