Assertion : Two waves moving in a uniform string having uniform t… - Vidyadip

MCQ

$Assertion :$ Two waves moving in a uniform string having uniform tension cannot have different velocities.
$Reason :$ Elastic and inertial properties of string are same for all waves in same string. Moreover speed of wave in a string depends on its elastic and inertial properties only.

A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
C
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
✓
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

d
Two waves moving in uniform string with uniform tension shall have same speed and may be moving in opposite directions. Hence both waves may have velocities in opposite direction. Hence Assertion is incorrect.
