b (b) Given, $y = 0.5\sin \,(20x - 400\,t)$
Comparing with $y = a\sin (\omega t - kx)$
Gives velocity of wave $v = \frac{\omega }{k}$$ = \frac{{400}}{{20}} = 20\,m/s.$

The mass per unit length of a uniform wire is $0.135\, g / cm$. A transverse wave of the form $y =-0.21 \sin ( x +30 t )$ is produced in it, where $x$ is in meter and $t$ is in second. Then, the expected value of tension in the wire is $x \times 10^{-2} N$. Value of $x$ is . (Round-off to the nearest integer)
An organ pipe $P_1$ closed at one end vibrating in its first overtone. Another pipe $P_2$ open at both ends is vibrating in its third overtone. They are in a resonance with a given tuning fork. The ratio of the length of $P_1$ to that of $P_2$ is
Transverse wave propagates in a medium with a velocity of $1450\,m/s$ . The distance between the nearest points at which the oscillations of the particles carried in the opposite phase $\pi $ is $0.1\,m$ . What is the frequency of the wave ..... $Hz$ ?
