Q. The diagram shows waves set up in a rope by a student moving the free end up and down at a steady rate. What is the wavelength of the waves shown, and what will be the wavelength when the student doubles the frequency at which the free end is moved up and down?

Q. Assertion :A sinusoidal wave is created in a thick rope by moving hand holding the rope up & down. If the hand is moved up and down with greater frequency, the wave reached the other end more quickly. Reason: Wave velocity is product of frequency & wavelength for a sinusoidal wave.
