A uniform rope of length L and mass m1 hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass m2 is attached to the free end of the ropes. A transverse pulse of wavelength λ1 is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is λ2. The ratio λ21 is-

1. m1+m2m2

2. m2m1

3. m1+m2m1

4. m1m2

When a string is divided into three segments of lengths l1, l2 and l3, the fundamental frequencies of these three segments are v1, v2 and v3 respectively. The original fundamental frequency (v) of the string is 

(1) v=v1+v2+v3

(2) v=v1+v2+v3

(3) 1v=1v1+1v2+1v3

(4) 1v=1v1+1v2+1v3

A wave in a string has an amplitude of 2 cm. The wave travels in the +ve direction of x-axis with a speed of 128 ms-1 and it is noted that 5 complete waves fit in 4 m length of the string. The equation describing the wave is :

1. y=0.02m sin 7.85x +1005 t 

2. y=0.02m sin 15.7x -2010 t 

3. y=0.02m sin 15.7x +2010 t 

4. y=0.02m sin 7.85x -1005 t
