A uniform thin rope of length 12 m and mass 6 kg hangs vertically from a rigid support and a block of mass 2 kg is attached to its free end. A transverse short wave train of wavelength 6 cm is produced at the lower and the rope. What is the wavelength of the wave train (in cm ) when it reaches the top of the rope?
Options
- A3
- B6
- C12
- D9
Correct answer
C. 12
Step-by-step solution
V = fλ V 1 λ 1 = V 2 λ 2 λ 2 = V 2 V 1 λ 1 = T 2 T 1 λ 1 T 2 = 8 g Top 8 g 2 g λ 1 T 1 = 2 g Bottom = 2 λ 1 = 12 cm
