The displacement of the medium in a sound wave is given by the equation y_(1) = A cos(ax + bt) where A , a and b are positive constants. The wave is reflected by an obstacle situated at x = 0 . The intensity of the reflected wave is 0.64 times that of the incident wave. (a) What are the wavelength and frequency of incident wave? (b) Write the equation for the reflected wave. ( c ) In the resultant wave formed after reflection, find the maximum and minimum values of the particle speeds in the medium. (d) Express the resultant wave as a superposition of a standing wave and a travelling wave. What are the positions of the antinodes of the standing wave ? What is the direction of propagation of travelling wave?

When a wave transverses in a medium, the displacement of a particle located at distance x at time t is given by y=a sin (bt-cx) where a, b and c are constants of the wave. The dimension of b//c are same as that of:

Einstein in 1905 proppunded the special theory of relativity and in 1915 proposed the general theory of relativity. The special theory deals with inertial frames of reference. The general theory of relativity deals with problems in which one frame of reference. He assumed that fixed frame is accelerated w.r.t. another frame of reference of reference cannot be located. Postulated of special theory of realtivity ● The laws of physics have the same form in all inertial systems. ● The velocity light in empty space is a unicersal constant the same for all observers. ● Einstein proved the following facts based on his theory of special relativity. Let v be the velocity of the speceship w.r.t a given frame of reference. The obserations are made by an observer in that reference frame. ● All clocks on the spaceship wil go slow by a factor sqrt(1-v^(2)//c^(2)) ● All objects on the spaceship will have contracted in length by a factor sqrt(1-v^(2)//c^(2)) ● The mass of the spaceship increases by a factor sqrt(1-v^(2)//c^(2)) ● Mass and energy are interconvertable E = mc^(2) The speed of a meterial object can never exceed the velocity of light. ● If two objects A and B are moving with velocity u and v w.r.t each other along the x -axis, the relative velocity of A w.r.t. B = (u-v)/(1-uv//v^(2)) One cosmic ray particle appraches the earth along its axis with a velocity of 0.9c towards the north the and another one with a velocity of 0.5c towards the south pole. The relative speed of approcach of one particle w.r.t. another is-

The mass of a nucleus ._(Z)^(A)X is less that the sum of the masses of (A-Z) number of neutrons and Z number of protons in the nucleus.The energy equivalent to the corresponding mass difference is known as the binding energy of the nucleus. A heavy nucleus of mass M can break into two light nuclei of masses m_(1) and m_(2) only if (m_(1)+m_(2)) lt M . Also two light nuclei of masses m_(3) and m_(4) can undergo complete fusion and form a heavy nucleus of mass M'. only if (m_(3)+m_(4)) gt M' . The masses of some neutral atoms are given in the table below: |{:(._(1)^(1)H ,1.007825u , ._(1)^(2)H,2.014102u,._(1)^(3)H,3.016050u,._(2)^(4)He,4.002603u),(._(3)^(6)Li,6.015123u,._(3)^(7)Li,7.016004u,._(30)^(70)Zn,69.925325u, ._(34)^(82)Se,81.916709u),(._(64)^(152)Gd,151.91980u,._(82)^(206)Pb,205.974455u,._(83)^(209)Bi,208.980388u,._(84)^(210)Po,209.982876u):}| Taking kinetic energy ( in KeV ) of the alpha particle, when the nucleus ._(84)^(210)P_(0) at rest undergoes alpha decay, is:
