Question
The ends of a stretched wire of length L are fixed at x = 0 and x = L. In one experiment, the displacement of the wire is y1 = A sin(πx/L) sin ωt and energy is E1 and in another experiment its displacement is y2=Asin(2πx/L) sin 2ωt and energy is E2. Then
Options
A.E2 = E1
B.E2 = 2E1
C.E2= 4E1
D.E2 = 16E1
Solution
Sol. y1= Asin $\left\lbrack \frac{\pi x}{L} \right\rbrack\sin\omega t$ $y_{2} = A\sin\left\lbrack \frac{2\pi x}{L} \right\rbrack\sin(2\omega t)$
λ = 2L λ = L
Energy per unit loop$= \frac{1}{2}µ\left( \omega^{2}A^{2} \right)\lambda$
E1= 1×$\left\lbrack \frac{1}{8}µ\omega^{2}A^{2}(2L) \right\rbrack$
$E_{2} = 2 \times \left\lbrack \frac{1}{8}(µ\omega)^{2}A^{2}(2L) \right\rbrack$
E2 = 4E1
