Wave on a string
Analysis :
on kinetic energy : from (i) :
1
dk = a 22 sin2 kx sin2 t dx
2
At node point : sinkx = 0
then dk = 0 (always at rech time)
At antinode point : sinkx = ±1
1
then dk = a 22 sin2 t dx
2
this equation suggest that kinetic energy will be
variable and it maximum when sint = 1  cost = 0
then string particle will beat mean position.
On potential Energy from (ii)
1
dU = a 22 cos2 kx cos2 t dx
2
At node point : sinkx = 0  coskx = ±1
And hence potential energy will be maximum at node and minimum (0) at antinode always
At node :
1
dU = a 22 cos2 t dx
2
Potential energy at node will be maximum when
cost = 1 and this instant all particles will be at extreme position

Here point A and B Due node points which displace ment are zero. Hence work done by tension will be
zero. And then energy will be conserved.
For point C : Tension component work and hence energy wil charge of particle and each half cycle work
done by tension will Zero. And energy will be conserved in each half cycle.
Method : 2
Since enegy between two nodes are conserved at reach instant of time. Now calculate energy when
string is at mean position and at mean position potential energy is zero. Hence total energy will be
equal to kinetic energy at mean position.

Wave on a string

HINTS & SOLUTIONS OF WAVE ON A STRING

A-2. A2 = A12 + A22 + 2A1 A2 cos 

A-3. (a)  = 2f = 10 Red/sec

A-5. (a) D, E, F  (slope = –ve  vp = +ve)

B-3. At the bottom end

B-4. T/2 = 5 m sec. (T is time period)

C-1. (a) f = 50Hz

D-1. Equation of reflected wave is

D-2. (a) aNetrqY; = 0

E-7. As end A is free so antinode is formed

A-4. Put , , A, x and t in the equation

A-5.  = 2f = 4 sec–1

A-6. Distance between boat = /2 = 10 m

B-3. Clear from the figure

C-1. p0 = A02 02 v

C-3. As <P> = 22 f2 A2 v put values

D-3. Amplitude varies between A1 + A2 to A1 – A2

D-6. Path difference is  between B and G.

Resultant Amplitude = 32  42 = 5m

E-1. As x = 0 is node  standing wave should be y = 2a sin kx sin t

E-7. y = a sin t cos Kx

2. v is same for all the waves.

For the pulse

7. Satisfy the standard equation of wave

Where r.d = relative density r.d = 1.26

T = M2g = M1g sin 30  M1 = 2M2

(a)  X = 7.5  = 60

14.  = 90cm = 0.9m

2*. Compare with y = a sin (t + Kx)

3*. Compare with y = A sin (t – Kx)

4*. Satisfy the standard equation of wave

8. y1 = A sin (2f + t – kx)

So A1 change with x (position)

11*. Use principle of superposition

13*. Compare with y = A sin Kx cos t

14*. =1m = 10 sin (80  t – 4x)

That is a triangular pulse

5. Aeq = A12  A 22  2A1A 2 cos 

(B)  = 628 sec–1

Possible modes of vibration

4. y(x,t)  e[ ax  bt]2

y(x,t)  e(ax bt)

5. Y = A sin(t – kx) + A sin(t + kx)

y = 2.2 × 1011 N/m2

7. Let mass per unit length be .

HIGH LEVEL PROBLEMS (HLP)

A = 1 × 10–6 m, T = 10g = 100N

So excluding the two nodes at ends total nodes is 3

If temperature decreases,s tension in wire increases and v increases

12. yp = 2 sin (100t + 300)
