JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 3rd September Morning Slot - No. 11)

A uniform thin rope of length 12 m and mass 6 kg hangs vertically from a rigid support and a block of mass 2 kg is attached to its free end. A transverse short wavetrain of wavelength 6 cm is produced at the lower end of the rope. What is the wavelength of the wavetrain (in cm) when it reaches the top of the rope ?

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 3rd September Morning Slot Physics - Waves Question 72 English Explanation

T1 = 2g

T2 = 8g

V = $$\sqrt {{T \over \mu }} $$

$$ \therefore $$ V $$ \propto $$ $$\sqrt T $$

Also V = f$$\lambda $$

$$ \therefore $$ V1 = f1$$\lambda $$1

and V2 = f2$$\lambda $$2

We know frequency of sources are same.

$$ \therefore $$ f1 = f2

So $$\sqrt {{{{T_1}} \over {{T_2}}}} = {{{\lambda _1}} \over {{\lambda _2}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\sqrt {{{2g} \over {8g}}} = {6 \over {{\lambda _2}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\lambda $$2 = 12 cm
