A child playing with a long rope ties one end holds the other. The rope is stretched taut along the horizontal. The child shakes the end he is holding, up and down, in a sinusoidal manner with amplitude `10 cm` and frequency `3` Hz.
Speed of the wave is `15 m//s` and, at `t=0`, displacement at the child's end is maximum positive. Assuming that there is no wave reflected from the fixed end, so that the waves in the rope are plane progressive waves, answer the following quetions.
(Also assume that the wave propagates along the positive x-direction.)
Phase difference between the child,s end and a point `2.5m` from the child's end will be

A

`pi/2`

B

`(3pi)/2`

C

`pi/4`

D

`pi`

A child playing with a long rope ties one end holds the other. The rope is stretched taut along the horizontal. The child shakes the end he is holding, up and down, in a sinusoidal manner with amplitude 10 cm and frequency 3 Hz. Speed of the wave is 15 m//s and, at t=0 , displacement at the child's end is maximum positive. Assuming that there is no wave reflected from the fixed end, so that the waves in the rope are plane progressive waves, answer the following quetions. (Also assume that the wave propagates along the positive x- direction.) A wave function that describe the wave in the given sutuation is

The equation for the fundamental standing sound wave in a tube that is closed at both ends if the tube is 80 cm long and speed of the wave is 330 m//s is (assume that amplitude of wave at antinode to be s_(0) )

A wave frequency 100 Hz travels along a string towards its fixed end . When this wave travels back after reflection , a node is formed at a distance of 10 cm from the fixed end . The speed of the wave (incident and reflected) is

A transverse wave of amplitude 5 mm and frequency 10Hz is produced on a wire stretched to a tension of 100N. If the wave speed is 100m//s , what average power is the source transmitting to the wire? (pi^2 = 10)

One end of a 60m long rope of mass 1.8 kg is tied to a rigid horizontal support held high above the ground. The rope hangs vertically and kept taut by a weight 'W' suspended at its lower end. A person jerks the lower end of the rope sideways in a sinusoidal manner and a transverse wave of frequency 2 Hz and amplitude 10cm passes along the rope such that there are 2 cycles of the wave in the total length of the rope. Neglecting the weight of the rope as compared to the suspended weight W and with g = 10m/s2, answer the following questions. (S = 75 xx 10^(-4) m^2) In the questions above, weight of the rope has been neglected as compared to the suspended weight. However, if we also account for the weight of the rope. the speed of the wave at the top of the rope will be

One end of a long rope is tied to a fixed vertical pole. The rope is stretched horizontally with a tension 8 N. Let us consider the length of the rope to be along X-axis. A sample harmonic oscillator at x = 0 generates a transverse wave of frequency 100 Hz and amplitude 2 cm along the rope. Mass of a unit length of the rope is 20 gm/m. Ignoring the effect of gravity, answer the following questions Wavelength of the wave is
