JEE Main 2019 (Online) 8th April Morning Slot Physics - Waves Question 93 English A wire of length 2L, is made by joining two wires A and B of same length but different radii r and 2r and made of the same material. It is vibrating at a frequency such that the joint of the two wires forms a node. If the number of antinodes in wire A is p and that in B is q then the ratio p : q is :

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Let mass per unit length of wires are μ1 and μ2 respectively

∵ Materials are same, so density ρ will be same.

∴ μ1=ρπr2LL=μ and μ2=ρ4πr2LL=4μ

Tension in both are same = T, let speed of wave in wires are V1 and V2

V1=V12L=V2L&V2=V22L=V4L

Frequency at which both resonate is L.C.M. of both frequencies (i.e : V2L )

Hence number of loops in wires are 1 and 2 respectively

So, ratio of number of antinodes is 1 : 2.
