$Assertion :$ 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.
D
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

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.

A metal rod of $1\; m$ length, is dropped exact vertically on to a hard metal floor. With an oscilloscope, it is determined that the impact produces a longitudinal wave of $1.2 \;k Hz$ frequency. The speed of sound in the metal rod is
The length of a son meter wire $AB$ is $110\; cm$. Where should the two bridges be placed from $A$ to divide the wire in $3$ segments whose fundamental frequencies are in the ratio of $1:2:3$?
A set of $20$ tuning forks is arranged in a series of increasing frequencies. If each fork gives $4$ beats with respect to the preceding fork and the frequency of the last fork is twice the frequency of the first, then the frequency of last fork is $\dots \; Hz$.
On a long horizontally moving belt, a child runs to and fro with a speed $9\, km\, h^{-1}$ (with respect to the belt) between his father and mother located $50\, m$ apart on the moving belt. The belt moves with a speed of $4\, km\, h^{-1}$. For an observer on a stationary platform, the speed of the child running in the direction of motion of the belt is ..... $km\,h^{-1}$
A string under a tension of $129.6\,\, N$ produces $10\,\, beats /sec$ when it is vibrated along with a tuning fork. When the tension is the string is increased to $160\,\, N,$ it sounds in unison with same tuning fork. calculate fundamental freq. of tuning fork .... $Hz$
The average density of Earth’s crust $10\ km$ beneath the surface is $2.7\ gm/cm^3$ . The speed of longitudinal seismic waves at that depth is $5.4\ km/s$ . The bulk modulus of Earth’s crust considering its behaviour as fluid at that depth is
If two waves of same frequency and same amplitude respectively, on superimposition produced a resultant disturbance of the same amplitude, the waves differ in phase by
