Question

A simple harmonic progressive wave is represented by the equation : $y = 8\sin 2\pi (0.1x - 2t)$ where $x$ and $y$ are in $cm$ and $t$ is in seconds. At any instant the phase difference between two particles separated by $2.0 \,cm$ in the $x-$direction is ..... $^o$

✓

Answer

(d) From the given equation $k = 0.2\pi $
==>$\frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda } = 0.2\pi \Rightarrow \lambda = 10\,cm$
$\Delta \phi = \frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }\,\Delta x = \frac{{2\pi }}{{10}} \times 2 = \frac{{2\pi }}{5} = {72^o}\,$

A string fixed at both ends is in resonance in its $2^{nd}$ harmonic with a tuning fork of frequency $f_1$. Now its one end becomes free. If the frequency of the tuning fork is increased slowly from $f_1$ then again a resonance is obtained when the frequency is $f_2$. If in this case the string vibrates in $n^{th}$ harmonic then
