    Equation   of travelling wave   on   a stretched string of linear density 5 g/m is \[y=0.03\text{ }sin\,(450t-9x)\] where distance and time are measured in SI units. The tension in the string is [JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 11-Jan-2019 Morning]

    A) 10 N                                        

    B) 7.5 N

    C) 5 N                  

    D)                  12.5 N

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The given wave is \[y=0.03\text{ }sin\text{ }(450t\text{ }-9x)\] Compare with standard wave equation \[y=a\sin (\omega t-kx)\] The velocity of travelling wave \[v=\frac{\omega }{k}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[v=\frac{450}{9}=50m/s\]                                   ...(i) Also, velocity of wave on stretched string is \[v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}\]                                                       ...(ii) Using (i) and (ii), \[\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}=50\Rightarrow T={{(50)}^{2}}\times 5\times {{10}^{-3}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[T=12.5N\]
