Problem

A long wire PQRPQR is made by joining two wires PQPQ and QRQR of equal radii. PQPQ has a length 4.8 m and mass 0.06 kg. QRQR has length 2.56 m and mass 0.2 kg. The wire PQRPQR is under a tension of 80 N. A sinusoidal wave pulse of amplitude 3.5 cm is sent along the wire PQPQ from the end PP . No power is dissipated during the propagation of the wave pulse. Calculate : (1) The time taken by the wave pulse to reach the other end RR . (2) The amplitude of the reflected and transmitted wave pulse after the incident wave pulse crosses the joint QQ .
