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?
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.

A travelling harmonic wave on a string is described by
`y(x,t) = 7.5 sin (0.0050x + 12t + pi/4)`
(a) What are the displacement and velocity of oscillation of a point at x = 1 cm, and t =1 s? Is this velocity equal to the velocity of wave propagation?
(b) Locate the points of the string which have the same transverse displacements and velocity as the x = 1 cm point at t = 2 s, 5 s and 11 s.
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 t = 0, the left end (fork end) of the string x = 0 has zero transverse displacement (y = 0) and is moving along positive y-direction. The amplitude of the wave is 5.0 cm. Write down the transverse displacement y as the function of x and t 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.
