A string is hanging from a rigid support. A transverse pulse is excited at its free end. The speed at which the pulse travels a distance x is proportional toA. xB. `1/x`C. `1/sqrt(x)`D. `sqrt(x)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - d Speed of transverse pulse, `v=sqrt(T/mu)` where, `mu` is mass of string per unit length. For a transverse pulse, `T=muxg` `therefore v=sqrt((muxg)/mu)rArr v prop sqrt(x)` |
