The mass per unit length of a uniform wire is \(0.135\) g/cm. A transverse wave of the form \(y=-0.21 \sin (x+30 t)\) is produced in it, where \(x\) is in meter and \(t\) is in second. The expected value of the tension in the wire is:
| 1. | \(12.15\) N | 2. | \(30.12\) N |
| 3. | \(45.35\) N | 4. | \(50.24\) N |
Which, of the following equation represents a travelling wave?
1. \(y=A\sin(15x-2t)\)
2. \(y=Ae^{-x^2}(vt+\theta)\)
3. \(y=Ae^{x}\cos (\omega t-\theta)\)
4. \(y=A\sin x \cos \omega t\)
The percentage increase in the speed of transverse waves produced in a stretched string when the tension is increased by \(4\%\) is:

2. \(3\%\)
3. \(2\%\)
4. \(1\%\)
A string of length \(2.0~\text{m},\) fixed at both ends is driven by a \(240~\text{Hz}\) vibrator. If the string vibrates in its third harmonic mode, the speed of the wave and its fundamental frequency, respectively, are:
