The amplitude modulated (AM) radio wave ...

The amplitude modulated (AM) radio wave bends appreciably round the corners of a `1mxx1m` board but the frequency modulated `(FM)` wave only has negligible bends. If the average wavelengths of AM and FM waves are `lamda_0 and lamda_f`.

A

`lambda_a gt lambda_f`

B

`lambda_a= lambda_f`

C

`lambda_a lt lambda_f`

D

We don’t have sufficient information to decide about the relation of `lambda_a and lambda_f.`

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.
