AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Waves and Sound

A string of length \(1 \mathrm{~m}\) and mass \(490 \mathrm{~g}\) is put under a tension of \(25 \mathrm{~N}\). A wave of frequency \(120 \mathrm{~Hz}\) is sent along it. The speed of this wave is

  1. A \(7.14 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(0.71 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(0.51 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(51.0 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(7.14 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The wave speed is given as \[ \mathrm{V}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mu}}=\sqrt{\frac{25}{0.49} \times 1}=7.14 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \]
