$A$ 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
    $(2 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t - 10x)$

$Assertion :$ Two waves moving in a uniform string having uniform tension cannot have different velocities.
$Reason :$ Elastic and inertial properties of string are same for all waves in same string. Moreover,the speed of a wave in a string depends on its elastic and inertial properties only.

In the figure shown,a mass of $1 \ kg$ is connected to a string of mass per unit length $1.2 \ g/m$. The length of the string is $1 \ m$ and its other end is connected to the ceiling of a lift which is accelerating upwards with an acceleration of $2 \ m/s^2$. $A$ transverse pulse is produced at the lowest point of the string. The time taken by the pulse to reach the top of the string is .... $s$. (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
