Q78 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (31 Jan Shift 2) · Physics

For a solid rod, the Young's modulus of elasticity is 3.2×1011 N m-2 and density is 8×103 kg m-3. The velocity of longitudinal wave in the rod will be

  • A
    145.75×103 m s-1
  • B
    3.65×103 m s-1
  • C
    18.96×103 m s-1
  • Correct answer
    D
    6.32×103 m s-1

Solution

The velocity of longitudinal wave in the rod will be, v=Yρ=3.2×10118×103

=2×10310

≈6.32×103 m s-1

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
