One end of a long rope is tied to a fixed vertical pole. The rope is stretched horizontally with a tension 8 N. Let us consider the length of the rope to be along X-axis. A sample harmonic oscillator at x = 0 generates a transverse wave of frequency 100 Hz and amplitude 2 cm along the rope. Mass of a unit length of the rope is 20 gm/m. Ignoring the effect of gravity, answer the following questions: Which of the following is correct ?

Answer»
