Assertion When a wave travels from a denser to a rarer medium, its amplitude increases. Reason In a rarer medium, speed of wave is more

Consider a standing wave formed on a string . It results due to the superposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions . The waves are travelling along the length of the string in the x - direction and displacements of elements on the string are along the y - direction . Individual equations of the two waves can be expressed as Y_(1) = 6 (cm) sin [ 5 (rad//cm) x - 4 ( rad//s)t] Y_(2) = 6(cm) sin [ 5 (rad//cm)x + 4 (rad//s)t] Here x and y are in cm . Answer the following questions. If one end of the string is at x = 0 , positions of the nodes can be described as

Assertion : The interference of two identical waves moving in same direction produces standing waves. Reason : Various elements of standing waves do not remain in constant phase.

An harmonic wave has been set up on a very long string which travels along the length of the string. The wave has a frequency of 50 Hz, amplitude 1 cm and wavelength 0.5 m. find (a) the time taken by the wave to travel a distance of 8 m along the length of string (b) the time taken by a point on the string to travel a distance of 8 m, once the wave has reached the point and sets it into motion (c ) also. consider the above case when the amplitude gets doubled

State whether the following statements are true or false by writing T/F against them. (a) Earth moves around Sun with a uniform velocity. (b) The motion of moon around Earth in a circular path is an accelerated motion. ( c) A uniform linear motion is unaccelerated, while a uniform circular motion is an accelerated motion. (d) In a uniform circular motion, the speed continuously changes because the direction of motion changes.
