Question:

A block $M$ hangs vertically at the bottom end of a uniform rope of constant mass per unit length. The top end of the rope is attached to a fixed rigid support at $O$. A transverse wave pulse (Pulse 1) of wavelength $\lambda_{0}$ is produced at point $O$ on the rope. The pulse takes time $T_{OA}$ to reach point $A$. If the wave pulse of wavelength $\lambda_{0}$ is produced at point $A$ (Pulse 2) without disturbing the position of $M$ it takes time $T_{AO}$ to reach point $O$. Which of the following options is/are correct?

Updated On: Jun 14, 2022
  • The time $T_{AO} = T_{OA}$
  • The velocities of the two pulses (Pulse 1 and Pulse 2) are the same at the midpoint of rope
  • The wavelength of Pulse 1 becomes longer when it reaches point $A$
  • The velocity of any pulse along the rope is independent of its frequency and wavelength

Waves

Waves are a disturbance through which the energy travels from one point to another. Most acquainted are surface waves that tour on the water, but sound, mild, and the movement of subatomic particles all exhibit wavelike properties. inside the most effective waves, the disturbance oscillates periodically (see periodic movement) with a set frequency and wavelength.

Types of Waves:

Transverse Waves -

Waves in which the medium moves at right angles to the direction of the wave.

Examples of transverse waves:

  • Water waves (ripples of gravity waves, not sound through water)
  • Light waves
  • S-wave earthquake waves
  • Stringed instruments
  • Torsion wave

The high point of a transverse wave is a crest. The low part is a trough.

Longitudinal Wave -

A longitudinal wave has the movement of the particles in the medium in the same dimension as the direction of movement of the wave.

Examples of longitudinal waves:

  • Sound waves
  • P-type earthquake waves
  • Compression wave
