1. | \(3.0 \times10^{-4}~\text{m}\) | 2. | \(4.0 \times10^{-4}~\text{m}\) |
3. | \(3.5 \times10^{-4}~\text{m}\) | 4. | \(2.0 \times10^{-4}~\text{m}\) |
Both the strings, shown in the figure, are made of the same material and have the same cross-section. The pulleys are light. The wave speed of a transverse wave in the string \(AB\) is \(v_1\) and in \(CD\) it is \(v_2\). Then \(\dfrac{v_1}{v_2}\) is:
1. | \(1\) | 2. | \(2\) |
3. | \(\sqrt2\) | 4. | \({1}/{\sqrt{2}}\) |
(a) | directly on density of the medium. |
(b) | square of Bulk modulus of the medium. |
(c) | inversly on the square root of density. |
(d) | directly on the square root of bulk modulus of the medium. |
1. | (a), (c) | 2. | (a), (b), (c) |
