Two pulses in a stretched string whose centres are initially $8 cm$ apart are moving towards each other as shown in the figure. The speed of each pulse is $2 cm/s$. After $2$ seconds, the total energy of the pulses will be
A
Zero
B
Purely kinetic
C
Purely potential
D
Partly kinetic and partly potential

B
Purely kinetic
b (b) After $2 sec$ the pulses will overlap completely.
The string becomes straight and therefore does not have any potential energy and its entire energy must be kinetic.

The equations of two waves acting in perpendicular directions are given as $x=a \cos (\omega t+\delta)$ and $y=a \cos (\omega t+\alpha)$, where $\delta=\alpha+\frac{\pi}{2}$, the resultant wave represents
A string is stretched so that its length is increased by $\frac{1}{\eta }$ of its original length. The ratio of fundamental frequency of transverse vibration to that of fundamental frequency of longitudinal vibration will be
When a tuning fork of frequency $341$ is sounded with another tuning fork, six beats per second are heard. When the second tuning fork is loaded with wax and sounded with the first tuning fork, the number of beats is two per second. The natural frequency of the second tuning fork is
The phase difference between two points separated by $0.8 m$ in a wave of frequency is $120 Hz$ is $\frac{\pi }{2}.$ The velocity of wave is ..... $m/s$
Equation of travelling wave on a stretched string of linear density $5\,g/m$ is $y = 0.03\,sin\,(450\,t -9x)$ where distance and time are measured in $SI$ united. The tension in the string is ... $N$
$Assertion :$ Doppler formula for sound wave is symmetric with respect to the speed of source and speed of observer.
$Reason :$ Motion of source with respect to stationary observer is not equivalent to the motion of an observer with respect to stationary source.
