181.

Assertion:  The fundamental frequency of an open organ pipe increases as the temperature is increased. 

Reason:  This is because as the temperature increases, the velocity of sound increases more rapidly than length of the pipe.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If assertion is true but reason is false.

  • If both assertion and reason are false.

  • a

  • 2 a

  • 2 a

  • zero


183.

Assertion: To hear distinct beats, difference in frequencies of two sources should be less than 10. 

Reason: More the number of beats per sec
more difficult to hear them.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If assertion is true but reason is false.

  • If both assertion and reason are false.

A uniform string is vibrating with a fundamental frequency  ' f ' . The new frequency, if radius & length both are doubled would be

  •  2f

  • 3f

  • f4

  • f3

The second overtone of an open pipe has the same frequency as the first overtone of a closed pipe 2 m long. The length of the open pipe is

  • 8 m

  • 4 m

  • 2 m

  • 1 m


188.

Let T1 and T2 be the time periods of springs A and B when mass M is suspended from one ·end of each spring. If both springs are taken in series and the same mass M is suspended from the series combination, the time period is T then

  • T1 + T2 +T3

  • 1T  = 1T1 + 1T2

  • T2T1 2 + T2 2

  • 1T2 = 1T1 2 + 1T2
