$A$ composite string is made up by joining two strings of different mass per unit length,$\mu$ and $4\mu$. The composite string is under the same tension $T$. $A$ transverse wave pulse,$Y = (6 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t + 40x)$,where $t$ is in seconds and $x$ is in meters,is sent along the lighter string towards the joint. The joint is at $x = 0$. The equation of the wave pulse reflected from the joint is:

  • A
    $(2 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t - 40x)$
  • B
    $(4 \text{ mm}) \sin(40x - 5t)$
  • C
    $-(2 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t - 40x)$
  • D
    $(2 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t - 10x)$

The mass per unit length of a uniform wire is $0.135 \, g/cm$. $A$ transverse wave of the form $y = -0.21 \sin(x + 30t)$ is produced in it,where $x$ is in meters and $t$ is in seconds. Then,the expected value of tension in the wire is $x \times 10^{-2} \, N$. The value of $x$ is (Round off to the nearest integer).

Transverse waves of the same frequency are generated in two steel wires $A$ and $B$. The diameter of $A$ is twice that of $B$,and the tension in $A$ is half that in $B$. The ratio of the velocities of the waves in $A$ and $B$ is:
