Question
The wave pattern on a stretched string is shown in Interpret what kind of wave this is and find its wavelength.

Answer

The displacement of medium particlles at distance 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50cm are always rest which is the property of nodes in stationary wave.

$\text{AT}\ \text{t}=\frac{\text{T}}{4}$ and $\frac{\text{3T}}{4}$ all particle are at rest wgich is in stationary wave when the particle crossrs its mean position.

so thet praph of wave shos stationaty wave.

The wave at $\text{x}=10,\ 20,\ 30,\ 40\text{cm}$ there are nodes and distance between successive nodes is $\frac{\lambda}{2}$

$\therefore\frac{\lambda}{2}=(30-20)$ or $\lambda=20\text{cm.}$

A star 2.5 times the mass of the sun and collapsed to a size of 12km rotates with a speed of 1.2 rev. per second. (Extremely compact stars of this kind are known as neutron stars.

Natural water contains a small amount of tritium $\big(\text{ }^3_1\text{H}\big).$ This isotope beta-decays with a half-life of 12.5 years. A mountaineer while climbing towards a difficult peak finds debris of some earlier unsuccessful attempt. Among other things he finds a sealed bottled of whisky. On returning, he analyses the whisky and finds that it contains only 1.5 per cent of the $\text{}^3_1\text{H}$ radioactivity as compared to a recently purchased bottle marked '8 years old'. Estimate the time of that unsuccessful attempt.
