The speed of each pulse is 2 cm/s. After 2 seconds, the total energy of the pulses will be (a) zero (b) purely kinetic (c) purely potential (d) partly kinetic and partly potential A transverse sinusoidal wave of amplitude a, wavelength and frequency f is travelling on a stretched string. The maximum speed of any point on the string is v/10, where v is the speed of propagation of the wave. If a = 103 m and v = 10 ms1, then and f are given by (a) = 2 102 m & f = 103 Hz/(2) (b) = 103m & f = 103 Hz/(2) (c) = 103m & f =103 Hz/(2) (d) = 2 102 m & f = 104 Hz Two identical straight wires are stretched so as to produce 6 beats per second when vibrating simultaneously. On changing the tension slightly in one of them, the beat frequency remains unchanged. Denoting by T1, T2 the higher and the lower initial tension in the strings, then it could be said that while making the above changes in tension, (a) T2 was decreased & T1 was increased (b) T2 was increased & T1 was increased (c) T2 was decreased & T1 was decreased (d) T2 was increased & T1 was decreased The displacement y of a particle executing periodic motion is 1 given by y = 4 cos2 t sin(1000 t ) .
