A rope of length L and mass m hangs freely from the ceiling.The velocity of transverse as a function of position x along the rope is proportional to
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)X

Expert Answer:
The velocity of transverse wave on a rope is given as
Now, when the rope is hanging, the tension in the string depends on the position x along the rope.
T = μgx
Hence, we have
Hence, the correct option is (b)

- What is propagation constant (k)?
- Define longitudinal wave motion. What are the essential conditions required for the formation of longitudinal wave motion?
- Define transverse wave motion. What are the essential conditions required for the formation of transverse wave motion?
- A narrow sound pulse (for example, a short pip by a whistle) is sent across a medium. (i) Does the pulse have a definite (a) wavelength, (b) frequency, (c) speed of propagation? (ii) If the pulse rate is 1 after every 20s (i.e the whistle is blown for a split second after every 20s), is the frequency of the note produced by the whistle equal to 1/20 = 0.05 Hz?
