A wire of length 2L, is made by joining two
wires A and B of same length but different radii
r and 2r and made of the same material. It is
vibrating at a frequency such that the joint of
the two wires forms a node. If the number of
antinodes in wire A is p and that in B is q then
the ratio p : q is :
A. 3 : 5
B. 4 : 9
C. 1 : 2
D. 1 : 4
Correct Answer is Option (C)
Let mass per unit length of wires are 1 and 2
respectively
Materials are same, so density
will be same.
and
Tension in both are same = T, let speed of wave in wires are V1 and
V2
Frequency at which both resonate is L.C.M. of
both frequencies (i.e : )
Hence number of loops in wires are 1 and 2 respectively
So, ratio of number of antinodes is 1 : 2.

Equation of travelling wave on a stretched string of linear density 5 g/m is y = 0.03 sin(450 t – 9x)
where distance and time are measured in SI units. The tension in the string is :
A. 10 N
B. 7.5 N
C. 5 N
D. 12.5 N
Correct Answer is Option (D)
y = 0.03 sin(450 t 9x)
v = = 50m/s
v = = 2500
T = 2500 5 103
= 12.5 N

nodes on the string is close to -
A. 16.6 cm
B. 10.0 cm
C. 20.0 cm
D. 33.3 cm
Correct Answer is Option (C)

A heavy ball of mass M is suspendeed from the ceiling of a car by a light string of mass m (m < <
M). When the car is at rest, the speed of transverse waves in the string is 60 ms1. When the car has acceleration a, the
wave-speed increases to 60.5 ms1. The value of a, in terms of
gravitational acceleration g, is closest to :
A.
B.
C.
D.
Correct Answer is Option (B)
Resultant force on the ball of mass M when car is moving with a acceleration
a is ,
Fnet =
=
T = M
We know,
Velocity, V =
When Car is at rest then,
60 = . . . . (1)
and when is moving then
60.5 = . . . . (2)
By dividing (2) by (1) we get,
=
=
= 1 + 4 [Using Binomial approximation]
= 1 +
1 + = 1 +
=
a =
Closest answer, a =
