A tuning fork A produces 4 beats/s with another tuning fork B of frequency 320 Hz. On filing one of the prongs of A, 4 beats/s are again heard when sounded with the same fork B. Then, the frequency of the fork A before filing is
328 Hz
316 Hz
324 Hz
320 Hz
Which one of the following statements is true?
Both light and sound waves in air are transverse
The sound waves in air are longitudinal while the light waves are transverse
Both light and sound waves in air are longitudinal
Both light and sound waves can travel in vacuum
A closed organ pipe of length 20 cm is sounded with tuning fork in resonance. What is frequency of tuning fork? (v = 332 m/s)
300 Hz
350 Hz
375 Hz
415 Hz
A transverse wave is expressed as, For what value of λ, maximum particle velocity equals to 4 times the wave velocity?
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 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
8 m
10 m
5 m
32 m
B.
10 m
The given equation of a progressive wave is
y = 3 sin
= 3 sin 2
The standard equation of a progressive wave is
y = yo sin
Comparing these two equations, we get
T = 4 s , λ = 8m
∴ The velocity of wave,
v =
=
⇒ v = 2 ms-1
Distance travelled by wave in time t is
s = v t
⇒ s = 2 × 5
⇒ s = 10 m
A transverse wave is represented by the equation . For what value of is the particle velocity equal to two times the wave velocity
When an open organ is dipped in water upto half of its height, then its frequency will become
half
double
remain same
four time
