उत्तर
We know that `v ∝ sqrt(T)`
⇒ `v_T/v_0 = sqrt(T/T_0)`
Given that, `v_T = 3v_0`
∴ `(3v_0)/v_0 = sqrt(T/(273 + 0))`
⇒ `sqrt(T) = 3sqrt(273)`
⇒ T = 9 × 273
⇒ T = 2457 K
⇒ T = 2457 – 273
⇒ T = 2184°C

A steel wire has a length of 12.0 m and a mass of 2.10 kg. What should be the tension in the wire so that speed of a transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air at 20 °C = 343 m s–1.
You have learnt that a travelling wave in one dimension is represented by a function y= f (x, t)where x and t must appear in the combination x – v t or x + v t, i.e. y = f (x ± v t). Is the converse true? Examine if the following functions for y can possibly represent a travelling wave:
(a) `(x – vt )^2`
(b) `log [(x + vt)/x_0]`
(c) `1/(x + vt)`

Earthquakes generate sound waves inside the earth. Unlike a gas, the earth can experience both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) sound waves. Typically the speed of S wave is about 4.0 km s–1, and that of P wave is 8.0 km s–1. A seismograph records P and S waves from an earthquake. The first P wave arrives 4 min before the first S wave. Assuming the waves travel in straight line, at what distance does the earthquake occur?
