A string of length \(25 \mathrm{~cm}\) and mass \(10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}\) is clamped at its ends. The tension in the string is \(2.5 \mathrm{~N}\). The identical wave pulses are generated at one end and at regular interval of time, \(\Delta \mathrm{t}\). The minimum value of \(\Delta \mathrm{t}\), so that a constructive interference takes place between successive pulses is
- A 1 s
- B 20 ms
- C 0.2 s
- D 40 ms
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 20 ms
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The linear mass density \(\mu\) of the string is given by \(\mu = \dfrac{M}{L} = \dfrac{10^{-3} \text{ kg}}{0.25 \text{ m}} = 4 \times 10^{-3} \text{ kg/m}\). The speed of the wave \(v\) in the string is…
