Question
Wave pulse on a string shown in figure is moving to the right without changing shape. Consider two particles at positions x1 = 1.5 m and x2 = 2.5 m. Their transverse velocities at the moment shown in figure are along directions :
- positive y–axis and positive y–axis respectively
- negative y–axis and positive y–axis respectively
- positive y–axis and negative y–axis respectively
- negative y–axis and negative y–axis respectively
The correct answer is: negative y–axis and positive y–axis respectively
Dotted shape shows pulse position after a short time interval. Direction of the velocities are decided according to direction of displacements of the particles.

Two trains A and B are moving with speed 20 m/s and 30 m/s respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with B ahead of A. The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train A blows a long whistle. Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from ƒ1 = 800 Hz to ƒ2 = 1120 Hz, as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency–lowest frequency) is thus 320 Hz. The speed of sound in still air is 340 m/s. The spread of frequency as observed by the passengers in train B is :–
