NEET · Physics · STD 11 - 14. waves and sound

A uniform rope of length \(L\) and mass \(m_1\) hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass \(m_2\) is attached to the free end of the rope. A transverse pulse of wavelength \(\lambda _1\), is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wave length of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is \(\lambda _2\). The ratio \(\lambda _2\,/\,\lambda _1\) is 

  1. A \(\sqrt {\frac{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}{{{m_2}}}} \)
  2. B \(\;\sqrt {\frac{{{m_2}}}{{{m_1}}}} \)
  3. C \(\;\sqrt {\frac{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}{{{m_1}}}} \)
  4. D \(\;\sqrt {\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}}} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt {\frac{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}{{{m_2}}}} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Wavelength of pulse at the lower end, \(\lambda_{1} \propto\) velocity \(\left(v_{1}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{T_{1}}{\mu}}\)
