A uniform rope of length $L$ and mass $m_{1}$ hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass ${m}_{2}$ is attached to the free end of the rope. A transverse pulse of wavelength $\lambda_{1}$ is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is $\lambda_{2}$. The ratio $\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}}$ is,


Important Questions on Stationary Waves
Two identical straight wires are stretched so as to produce when vibrating simultaneously. On changing the tension in one of them, the beat frequency remains unchanged. Denoting by the higher and the lower initial tensions in the strings, it could be said that while making the above change in tension,

A string on a musical instrument is $50 \mathrm{cm}$ long and its fundamental frequency is $270 \mathrm{Hz}$. If the desired frequency of $1000 \mathrm{Hz}$ is to be produced, the required length of the string is

A string of length has a mass of . If tension in the string is $60.5 \mathrm{N}$, then speed of a wave on the string is

A uniform string of length $L$ and mass $M$ is fixed at both ends while it is subjected to a tension $T$. It can vibrate at frequencies ( $v$ ) given by the formula (where, ),

The transverse displacement of a vibrating string is, $y=0.06 \sin \frac{2 \pi}{3} x \cos (120 \pi t)$. If mass per unit length of the string is , the tension in the string will be,

A metal wire of linear mass density is stretched with a tension of $10$ $\mathrm{kg}$ weight between two rigid supports $1$ $\mathrm{m}$ apart. The wire passes at its middle point between the poles of a permanent magnet and it vibrates in resonance when carrying an alternating current of frequency $n$.if The frequency $n$ of the alternating source is,

Standing waves are produced in a $10$ $\mathrm{m}$ long stretched string. If the string vibrates in five segments and the wave velocity is , the frequency is,

In a sonometer experiment, the bridges are separated by a fixed distance. The wire which is slightly elastic emits a tone of frequency $n$ when held by tension $T$. If the tension is increased to $4T$, the tone emitted by the wire will be of frequency,
