A harmonic source (S) is driving a taut string. The other end of the string is tied to a wall that is not so rigid. It is observed that standing waves are formed in the string with ratio of amplitudes at the antinodes to that at the nodes equal to 8. What percentage of wave energy is transmitted to the wall?

A transverse harmonic wave is propagating along a taut string. Tension in the string is 50 N and its linear mass density is 0.02 kg m^( –1) The string is driven by a 80 Hz oscillator tied to one end oscillating with an amplitude of 1mm.
