प्रश्न

A string 1 m long is fixed at one end. The other end is moved up and down with a frequency of 20 Hz. Due to this, a stationary wave with four complete loops gets produced on the string. Find the speed of the progressive wave which produces the stationary wave. 

बेरीज

उत्तर

L = 1 m, n = 20 Hz

Since an antinode is formed at the free end.

Thus, with four and a half loops of the string,

L = `λ/4 + 2λ = 9/4λ`

∴ λ = `(4"L")/9 = 4/9 xx 1 = 4/9`m

∴ v = nλ

= `20 xx 4/9`

= 8.88 m/s
