JEE Main 2019 (Online) 8th April Morning Slot Physics - Waves Question 81 English 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 μ 1 and μ 2 respectively

Materials are same, so density ρ will be same.

μ 1 = ρ π r 2 L L = μ and μ 2 = ρ 4 π r 2 L L = 4 μ

Tension in both are same = T, let speed of wave in wires are V1 and V2

V 1 = V 1 2 L = V 2 L & V 2 = V 2 2 L = V 4 L

Frequency at which both resonate is L.C.M. of both frequencies (i.e : V 2 L )

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 = ω k = 450 9 = 50m/s

v = T μ T μ = 2500

  T = 2500 × 5 × 10 3

= 12.5 N

A string of length 1 m and mass 5 g is fixed at both ends. The tension in the string is 8.0 N. The string is set into vibration using an external vibrator of frequency 100 Hz. The separation between successive 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)

Velocity of wave on string

V = T μ = 8 5 × 1000 = 40 m / s

Now, wavelength of wave

λ = v n = 40 100 m

Separation b/w successive nodes,

λ 2 = 20 100 m = 20 cm

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 ms 1. When the car has acceleration a, the wave-speed increases to 60.5 ms 1. The value of a, in terms of gravitational acceleration g, is closest to :

A. g 30

B. g 5

C. g 10

D. g 20

Correct Answer is Option (B)

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 9th January Morning Slot Physics - Waves Question 88 English Explanation

Resultant force on the ball of mass M when car is moving with a acceleration a is ,

Fnet = ( M g ) 2 + ( M a ) 2

   = M g 2 + a 2

   T = M g 2 + a 2

We know,

Velocity, V = T μ

When Car is at rest then,

   60 = M g μ    . . . . (1)

and when is moving then

   60.5 = M g 2 + a 2 μ    . . . . (2)

By dividing (2) by (1) we get,

60.5 60 = g 2 + a 2 g

    ( 1 + 0.5 60 ) = ( g 2 + a 2 g 2 ) 1 4

    g 2 + a 2 g 2 = ( 1 + 0.5 60 ) 4

    g 2 + a 2 g 2 = 1 + 4 × 0.5 60 [Using Binomial approximation]

    g 2 + a 2 g 2 = 1 + 1 30

   1 + a 2 g 2 = 1 + 1 30

    a g = 1 30

   a = g 30

   Closest answer, a = g 5

A granite rod of 60 cm length is clamped at its middle point and is set into longitudinal vibrations. The density of granite is 2.7 × 103 kg/m3 and its Young’s modulus is 9.27 × 1010 Pa. What will be the fundamental frequency of the longitudinal vibrations ?

A. 7.5 kHz

B. 5 kHz

C. 2.5 kHz

D. 10 kHz

Correct Answer is Option (B)

JEE Main 2018 (Offline) Physics - Waves Question 99 English Explanation

As   rod length = 60 cm

λ 2 = 60

λ = 120 cm = 1.2 m

In solid, velocity of wave,

V = Y ρ

= 9.27 × 10 10 2.7 × 10 3

= 5.85 × 103 m/sec.

As  we know,

v = f λ

f = v λ

= 5.85 × 10 3 1.2

= 4.88 × 103 Hz

  5 kHz
