Practice question
Question
A transverse wave travels on a string with tension 50 N and linear mass density 0.02 kg/m. What is the wavelength if the frequency is 25 Hz?
Explanation
Given:
A transverse wave travels on a string with tension 50 N and linear mass density 0.02 kg/m. What is the wavelength if the frequency is 25 Hz?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
Speed: v = sqrtT/μ = sqrt50/0.02 = sqrt2500 = 50 m/s.
This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon.
Substitution & Calculation:
Wavelength: lambda = v/v = 50/25 = 2 m .
Result:
The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kgâ»Â¹ Kâ»Â¹, m/s², 10â»âµ are properly used as per NCERT.
