A particle on a stretched string support...

A particle on a stretched string supporting a travelling wave, takes 5.0 ms to move from its mean position to the extreme position. The distance between two consecutive particles, which are at their mean positions, is 2.0 cm. Find the frequency, the wavelength and the wave speed.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D
Time period `T=4xx5ms`
`=20x106-3=2xx10^-2s`
`lamda=2xx2cm=4cm`
`Frequency f=1/T`
`=1/((2x10^-2))=50s^-1`
`=50Hz`
`Wave speed, lamdaf=4xx10^-2xx50m/s`
`=200xx10^-2m/s=2m/s`
