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

A string of length 0.4 m and mass `10 ^(-2)` kg is tightly clamped at its ends. The tension in the string is 1. 6 N. identical wave pulses are produced at one end at equal intervals of time `Delta t`. The value of `Delta t` which allows construction tnterference betwenn 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.
