All of these.
None of these.
5)
During a wave motion in a string, what does every particle do?
Does not displace at all.
Does not oscillate.
Oscillates.
Displaces from one end to the other end.
6)
What do we need to find the velocity of the pulse in a string?
Only a stop watch.
Only a measuring scale.
Both a stop watch and a measuring scale.
Neither a stop watch nor a measuring scale.
7)
A strong transverse horizontal pulse, created at one end of a string, is observed to complete five journeys along its length, before fading out. The initial and final readings, on a stop-clock used in the experiment, are as shown here. If the length of the string is L metre, the speed of the pulse, through the string, is:
(L/9) ms⁻¹
(L/10) ms⁻¹
(L/45) ms⁻¹
(L/50) ms⁻¹
8)
What kind of waves can be produced on a slinky?
Only a longitudinal wave.
Only a transverse wave.
Both a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave.
Neither a longitudinal wave nor a transverse wave.
9)
Which of the following is true about the velocity of a pulse in a string?
Velocity remains constant.
Velocity increases.
Velocity decreases.
Velocity may increase or decrease.
10)
What happens when a pulse is formed on a slinky?
The medium (slinky) oscillates for a long time.
the medium (slinky) remains undisturbed.
The medium (slinky) oscillates for a short while and then returns to its original undisturbed position.
The medium (slinky) oscillates for a long while and then returns to its original undisturbed position.
11)
A student fixes two ends of a rope to two rigid supports- A and B placed at a distance of 7.5 m. He then gives a transverse horizontal jerk to create a pulse in the rope which moves from A to B, B to A, again from A to B and B to A.... and so on. The moment he gives jerk to the rope his friend immediately starts the stop watch. The pulse dies after completing three journeys from A to B and back. The pulse takes 1 min. and 15 seconds to complete its entire journey. What is the speed of the pulse moving on the rope?
0.6 ms⁻¹
0.3 ms⁻¹
0.2 ms⁻¹
0.1 ms⁻¹
12)
When a pulse produced in a slinky moves through it and strikes a rigid pole or a wall as shown in the diagram, it is reflected back and the shape of the reflected pulse resembles the shape given in:
13)
How should the point of creation of the pulse at one end of the string be kept with respect to the fixed point?
Above.
Below.
In the same line.
All of these.
14)
The pulse created by compressing the turns of the spring is:
Longitudinal

at one end only
at both ends always
in any part of the spring
at both ends occasionally
16)
What happens when the pulse reaches the fixed end of the string?
It is lost.
It is refracted.
It is reflected.
Its velocity changes.

Compress the free end.
Pull the free end.
None of these.
21)
Four students did their experiments on measuring the speed of a pulse through a string as follows: Student A stretched his thick cotton string very taut and gave it a very mild transverse horizontal jerk. Student B stretched his thin jute string just taut and gave it a mild transverse horizontal jerk.

Student D stretched his thin jute string very taut and gave it a strong transverse horizontal jerk. Which student used the string correctly in the experiment?
A
B
C
D
