Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedPhysicsWaves and Sound
Consider a travelling simple harmonic wave on a string of mass per unit length and tension T . Kinetic energy per unit length is given by u_k= 1 2 ( y t )^2 and potential energy per unit length is given by u_p= 1 2 T ( y x )^2 . Mark the CORRECT option(s).
Options
- APower transmitted by wave equals ( u _ k + u _ p ) T .
- Bu_k and u_p simultaneously attain their maximum and minimum values.
- CTotal energy per unit length of a string is constant when a harmonic wave travels on it.
- DA small part of string has maximum potential energy when it is at its equilibrium position.
Correct answer
D. A small part of string has maximum potential energy when it is at its equilibrium position.
Step-by-step solution
Power = d E d t (u_p+u_K ) d l d t = (u_p+u_k ) T
