10.(ACD) If intensity at points is I, then energy density at that point is E = I/v, where v is wave propagation velocity.
It means that E I , Hence, the graph between E and I will be a straight line passing through the origin. Therefore
(a) is correct and (b) is wrong. Intensity is given by :
I 22 n 2 a 2 pv
Hence,
E 2 2 n 2 a 2
It means that E n2
Hence, the graph between E and n will be parabola passing through origin, having increasing slope and symmetric
about E-axis. Hence, option (d) is correct.

of the source is therefore.

The equation of the wave travelling on the string along the positive X-axis is obtained by replacing t by (t – x/v)] in
equation (i). It is, therefore,

33.(A) When the height h2 of water level is further decreased then the upward force acting on the wooden block decreases.
The total force downward remains the same. This difference will be compensated by the normal reaction by the tank
wall on the wooden block. The block does not move up and remains at its original position.

47.(C) P (final in left) = P (final in Right part). So when pin is removed, piston will not move.

48.(ACD) The only external horizontal force acting on the system of the two blocks and the spring is F. Therefore,
acceleration of the centre of mass of the system is equal to F / m1 m2 .
Hence, centre of mass of the system moves with a constant acceleration. Initially there is not tension in the spring,
therefore at initial moment m2 has an acceleration F / m2 and it starts to move to the right. Due to its motion, the
spring elongates and a tension is developed. Therefore, acceleration of m2 decreases while that of m1 increases from
zero, initial value.
The blocks start to perform SHM about their centre of mass and the centre of mass moves with the acceleration
calculated above. Hence option (b) is correct.
Since the blocks start to perform SHM about centre of mass, therefore the length of the spring varies periodically.
Hence, option (a) is wrong.
Since magnitude of the force F remains constant, therefore amplitude of oscillations also remains constant. So option
(c) also wrong.
Acceleration of m2 is maximum at the instant when the spring is in its minimum possible length, which is equal to its
natural length. Hence, at initial moments, acceleration of m2 is maximum possible.
The spring is in its natural length, not only at initial moment but at time t T , 2T , 3T , ..... also, where T is the period
of oscillation. Hence, option (d) is wrong.
