Equations of a stationary wave and a travelling wave are y1=asinkxcosωt and y2=asin(ωt-kx). The phase difference between two points x1=π3k and x2=3π2k are ϕ1 and ϕ2 respectively, for the two waves. The ratio ϕ1/ϕ2 is

One end of two wires of the same metal and of the same length (with radius, r and 2r) are joined together. The wire is used as a sonometer wire and the junction is placed in between two bridges. The tension T is applied to the wire. If at a junction a node is formed then the ratio of a number of loops formed in the wires will be
