The ends of a stretched wire of length $L$ are fixed at $x = 0$ and $x = L.$ In one experiment, the displacement of the wire is ${y_1} = A\sin (\pi x/L)\sin \omega t$ and energy is ${E_1}$, and in another experiment its displacement is ${y_2} = A\sin (2\pi x/L)\sin 2\omega t$ and energy is ${E_2}$. Then
A${E_2} = {E_1}$
B${E_2} = 2{E_1}$
C${E_2} = 4{E_1}$
D${E_2} = 16{E_1}$

C${E_2} = 4{E_1}$
c (c) Energy $(E) \propto$ (Amplitude)$^2$ (Frequency)$^2$
Amplitude is same in both the cases, but frequency $2 \omega $ in the second case is two times the frequency $(\omega )$ in the first case. Hence ${E_2} = 4{E_1}$.

$Assertion :$ 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 wave represented by the given equation $Y = A\sin \left( {10\,\pi \,x + 15\,\pi \,t + \frac{\pi }{3}} \right)$, where $x$ is in meter and $t$ is in second. The expression represents
The equation of a travelling wave is $y = 60\cos (1800t - 6x)$ where $y$ is in microns, $t$ in seconds and $x$ in metres. The ratio of maximum particle velocity to velocity of wave propagation is
A wave motion has the function $y = {a_0}\sin (\omega \,t - kx)$. The graph in figure shows how the displacement $y$ at a fixed point varies with time $t$. Which one of the labelled points shows a displacement equal to that at the position $x = \frac{\pi }{{2k}}$ at time $t = 0$
A $1 cm$ long string vibrates with fundamental frequency of $256\, Hz$. If the length is reduced to $\frac{1}{4}cm$ keeping the tension unaltered, the new fundamental frequency will be
A closed organ pipe of radius $r_1$ and an open organ pipe of radius $r_2$ and having same length $'L'$ resonate when excited with a given tunning fork. Closed organ pipe resonates in its fundamental mode where as open organ pipe resonates in its first overtone, then
