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 \(\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}\) is:

1. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{m_1+m_2}{m_2}}\) 2. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}}\)
3. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{m_1+m_2}{m_1}}\) 4. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}}\)
