WAVE MOTION

Q.1> Define Wave motion? What is the difference b/w transverse and longitudinal waves? Mention 2
examples of each.

Q.2> What was Newton’s formula for the speed of sound? Why was it incorrect? What was Laplace
correction?

Q.3> Aluminum has a Young’s Modulus of 1012 Pa and a density of 2.7gm/cc. How long will sound take to
travel across an aluminum rod of length 100m?

Q.4> Mention 4 factors, which affect the velocity of sound in air.

Q.5> The velocity of sound in air at 300K is 340m/s. Find the % change in the velocity of sound when
temperature is raised to 400K.

Q.6> Briefly explain whether


(a) Velocity of sound is more or less on a rainy day
(b) Velocity of sound is more or less on a hot day

Q.7> The equation of a displacement is given by y = 10sin( π x – π/2 t + π/6) m. What kind of motion
does this represent? Mention its
(a) Amplitude (c) Time period (e) Velocity of wave
(b) Frequency (d) Wavelength (f) Wave number

Q.8> Draw the shape of the wave in the above question. What is the initial displacement of the particle at
x = 0. Also find the initial velocity and initial acceleration of this particle. How is the particle velocity
different from the wave velocity?

Q.9> A wave has a frequency of 1000Hz and a velocity of 2500m/s. The amplitude of the wave is 5cm
and the initial position of the particle at x = 0 is 2.5cm. The wave is travelling from right to left. Find its
equation?

Q.10> Mention 5 characteristics of wave motion.

Q.11> A string of mass 1kg has a length of 10m. A weight of 40kg is suspended
from the string. If somehow transverse waves are setup on the string, find the
time that they will take to travel across the string.

Q.14> What is superposition principle

Q.15> A wave given by y = Rsin( kx – ωt ) is travelling on a string. At the fixed end, the wave gets
reflected. What is the equation of the reflected wave?

Q.16> In the above question, the incident and the reflected wave will superimpose and generate a

the 3rd overtone. Find the number of beats formed due to superposition of the waves generated by the 2
pipes. Can we hear the beats? If not , why?

Q.21> A tuning fork ‘A’ having a frequency of 500Hz gives 5 beats with another fork ‘B’. On applying wax
to B the number of beats increase to 7. Find the frequency of ‘B’. What would happen to the number of
beats if the wax is applied to A.
