$A$ uniform metal wire of density $\rho$,cross-sectional area $A$,and length $L$ is stretched with a tension $T$. The speed of a transverse wave in the wire is given by:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{TL}{\rho A}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{T\rho}{AL}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{T}{A\rho}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{T\rho}{A}}$

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).

If the initial tension on a stretched string is doubled,then the ratio of the initial and final speeds of a transverse wave along the string is:

$A$ uniform string of length $20 \ m$ is suspended from a rigid support. $A$ short wave pulse is introduced at its lowest end. It starts moving up the string. The time taken to reach the support is (take $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$):

$A$ string of mass $0.1 \, kg$ is under a tension $1.6 \, N$. The length of the string is $1 \, m$. $A$ transverse wave starts from one end of the string. The time taken by the wave to reach the other end is (in $s$.)
