Question:
A rectangular pulse of width 0.5 cm is travelling to the right on a taut string (shown by full line in the figure) that has mass per unit length π1. The string is attached to another taut string (shown by dashed line) of mass per unit length π2. If the tension in both the strings is the same, and the transmitted pulse has width 0.7 cm, the ratio π1βπ2 is _______(rounded off to two decimal places)
