The speed of a wave in a medium is 760 m/s. If 3600 waves are passing through a point in the medium in 2 min, then their wavelength is
13.8 m
25.3 m
41.5 m
57.2 m
A metal wire of linear mass density of 9.8 gm-1 is stretched with a tension of 10 kg wt between two rigid supports 1 m apart. The wire passes at its middle point between the poles of a permanent magnet and it vibrates in resonance, when carrying an alternating current of frequency v. The frequency v of the alternating source is
50 Hz
100 Hz
200 Hz
25 Hz
A wave of frequency 100 Hz is sent along a string towards a fixed end. When this wave travels back after reflection, a node is formed at a distance of 10 cm from the fixed end of the string. The speed of incident ( and reflected) wave are
5 m/s
10 m/s
20 m/s
40 m/s
The displacement of a particle varies according to the relation,
