प्रश्न

The transverse displacement of a string (clamped at its both ends) is given by

y(x, t) = 0.06 sin `2/3` x cos (120 πt)

where x and y are in m and t in s. The length of the string is 1.5 m and its mass is 3.0 × 10-2 kg.

Answer the following:

Does the function represent a travelling wave or a stationary wave?

संख्यात्मक

उत्तर १

The given equation is y(x, t) = 0.06 sin `(2π)/3 xx` cos 120 πt        …(1)

As the equation involves harmonic functions of x and t separately, it represents a stationary wave.

उत्तर २

The general equation representing a stationary wave is given by the displacement function:

y (x, t) = 2a sin kx cos ωt

This equation is similar to the given equation:

`"y"(x, "t") = 0.06 sin (2/3 x )x cos(120  pi "t")`

Hence, the given function represents a stationary wave.

Determine the tension in the string.


One end of a long string of linear mass density 8.0 × 10–3 kg m–1 is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of 90 kg. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves at this end have negligible amplitude. At = 0, the left end (fork end) of the string = 0 has zero transverse displacement (= 0) and is moving along positive y-direction. The amplitude of the wave is 5.0 cm. Write down the transverse displacement as the function of and that describes the wave on the string.

The earth has a radius of 6400 km. The inner core of 1000 km radius is solid. Outside it, there is a region from 1000 km to a radius of 3500 km which is in molten state. Then again from 3500 km to 6400 km the earth is solid. Only longitudinal (P) waves can travel inside a liquid. Assume that the P wave has a speed of 8 km s–1 in solid parts and of 5 km s–1 in liquid parts of the earth. An earthquake occurs at some place close to the surface of the earth. Calculate the time after which it will be recorded in a seismometer at a diametrically opposite point on the earth if wave travels along diameter?
