A uniform rope of length LLL and mass m1{m}_{1}m1​, hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass m2{m}_{2}m2​ is attached to the free end of the rope. A transverse pulse of wavelength λ1{\lambda }_{1}λ1​ is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is λ2{\lambda }_{2}λ2​. The ratio λ2λ1\frac{{\lambda }_{2}}{{\lambda }_{1}}λ1​λ2​​ is:
