MCQ

Two wave pulses travel in opposite directions on a string and approach each other. The shape of one pulse is inverted with respect to the other.

A
The pulses will collide with each other and vanish after collision.
B
The pulses will reflect from each other i.e., the pulse going towards right will finally move towards left and vice versa.
C
The pulses will pass through each other but their shapes will be modified.
✓
The pulses will pass through each other without any change in their shapes.

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

The pulses will pass through each other without any change in their shapes.

The pulses continue to retain their Identity after they meet, but the moment they meet their wave profile differs from the individual pulse.

In the List-$I$ below, four different paths of a particle are given as functions of time. In these functions, $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive constants of appropriate dimensions and $\alpha \neq \beta$. In each case, the force acting on the particle is either zero or conservative. In List-II, five physical quantities of the particle are mentioned: $\overrightarrow{ p }$ is the linear momentum, $\bar{L}$ is the angular momentum about the origin, $K$ is the kinetic energy, $U$ is the potential energy and $E$ is the total energy. Match each path in List-$I$ with those quantities in List-$II$, which are conserved for that path.
