  • B
    $A = 2 \times 10^{-4} \, m, \omega = 2000 \, s^{-1}$
  • C
    $A = 2 \times 10^{-4} \, m, \omega = 115 \, s^{-1}$

$A$ travelling wave is partly reflected and partly transmitted from a rigid boundary. Let $a_i, a_r$ and $a_t$ be the amplitudes of the incident wave,reflected wave,and transmitted wave,and $I_i, I_r$ and $I_t$ be the corresponding intensities. Choose the correct alternative.

Two waves are represented by
$y_1 = 5 \sin 2 \pi(75 t - 0.25 x)$
$y_2 = 10 \sin 2 \pi(150 t - 0.50 x)$
The intensity ratio $\frac{I_1}{I_2}$ of the two waves is

$A$ stone thrown into still water creates a circular wave pattern moving radially outwards. If $r$ is the distance measured from the centre of the pattern, the amplitude of the wave varies as

The relation between time and displacement for two particles is given by
${y_1} = 0.06 \sin 2\pi (1.04t + {\phi _1})$
${y_2} = 0.03 \sin 2\pi (1.04t + {\phi _2})$
The ratio of the intensity of the waves produced by the vibrations of the two particles will be
