Hello all, on 10.03.2023 (Friday), you will have Exam for 25 marks. All the
questions will be asked from Module 1. The 25 marks will be converted into 5 and
consider for Digital Assignment 1. Please bring paper, pen, pencil, eraser,
sharpener and calculator for the exam. Mobile phone is not allowed. Exam will be
conducted for 45 minutes

Impedance of a String
The opposition to the wave motion offered by a medium when a wave propagates
through it. The impedance offered by the string to the transverse wave traveling through
it is called the characteristics impedance. It is denoted by Z.

𝝆 is the density of the medium in which the wave propagates, 𝝑 is the velocity of the wave,
T is the tension experienced by the string, Z is the impedance experienced by the wave from the medium .
