• 316 Hz

• 324 Hz

• 320 Hz

162.

When sound waves travel from air to water which one of the following remains constant?

• Time period

• Frequency

• Velocity

• Wavelength

The sound waves after being converted into electrical waves are not transmitted as such because

• they travel with the speed of sound

• the frequency is not constant

• they are heavily absorbed by the atmosphere

• the height of antenna has to be increased several times

An engine moving towards a wall with a velocity 50 m/s  emits a note of 1.2 kHz. Speed of sound in air is 350 m/s. The frequency of the note after reflection from the wall as heard by the driver of the engine is

• 2.4 kHz

• 0.24 kHz

• 1.6 KHz

• 1.2 kHz

y = 3 sin $\mathrm{\pi } \left(\frac{\mathrm{t}}{2} - \frac{\mathrm{x}}{4}\right)$ represents an equation of a progressive wave, where t is in second and x is in metre. The distance travelled by the wave in 5 s is
