MCQ
A string fixed at both ends vibrates in three loops. The wave length is $10\, cm$ . The length of string is .... $cm$
  • A
    $5$
  • $15$
  • C
    $30$
  • D
    None

Answer

Correct option: B.
$15$
b
In general, the length of string is $L = \frac{{(n - 1)\lambda }}{2}$ $n \to $ Number of loops $= $ Number of harmonics in question $n = 4 \,;\, \lambda  = 10\, cm$ 

$L = (4 - 1) \times \frac{{10}}{2} = 15\,cm$

In an $X$-ray tube, electrons emitted from a filament (cathode) carrying current I hit a target (anode) at a distance $d$ from the cathode. The target is kept at a potential $V$ higher than the cathode resulting in emission of continuous and characteristic $X$-rays. If the filament current $I$ is decreased to $\frac{ I }{2}$, the potential difference $V$ is increased to $2 V$, and the separation distance $d$ is reduced to $\frac{ d }{2}$, then
