A wave travelling in the $-ve\,\,z-$ direction having displacement along $x-$ direction as $1\,m,$ wavelength $\pi\, m$ and frequency at $\frac {1}{\pi }\,H_Z$ is represented by
A transverse harmonic wave on a string is described by $y = 3\sin \left( {36t + 0.018x + \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)$ where $x$ and $y$ are in $cm$ and $t$ in $s$. The least distance between two successive crests in the wave is .... $m$
A wave travelling along the $x-$ axis is described by the equation $y\ (x, t )\ =\ 0.005\ cos\ (\alpha x - \beta t )$ . If the wavelength and the time period of the wave in $0.08\ m$ and $2.0\ s$ respectively then $\alpha $ and $\beta $ in appropriate units are
A $10\, m$ long steel wire has mass $5\,g$. If the wire is under a tension of $80\, N$, the speed of transverse waves on the wire is .... $ms^{-1}$
A transverse wave is travelling along a stretched string from right to left. The figure shown represents the shape of the string at a given instant. At this instant
