A uniform rope of length L and mass \(m_1\) hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass \(m_2\) is attached to the free end of the rope. A transverse pulse of wavelength \(\lambda_1\) is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is \(\lambda_2\). The ratio \(\lambda_2/\lambda_1\) is :
