The observed wavelength of light coming from a distant galaxy is found to be increased by 0.5% as compared with that coming from a
terrestrial source. The galaxy is
stationary with respect to the earth
approaching the earth with velocity of light
receding from the earth with velocity of light
receding from the earth with a velocity
equal to 1.5 106 m/s.
A cylindrical tube, open at both ends emits a fundamental frequency f in air. The tube is dipped vertically in water, so that half of it is in water. The fundamental frequency of air column is now
f/2
3f/4
f
2f
The end correction of a resonance column is 1.0 cm. If the shortest length resonating with the tuning fork is 15.0 cm, the next resonating length will be
31 cm
45 cm
46 cm
47 cm
Assertion: Soldiers are asked to break steps while crossing the bridge.
Reason: The frequency of thick marching may be equal to the natural frequency of bridge and may lead to resonance which can break the bridge.
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 assertion is false but reason is true.
A tuning fork A produces 4 beats/s with another tuning fork B of frequency 320 Hz. On filling 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 the filling is
328 Hz
316 Hz
324 Hz
320 Hz
A source of frequency 240 Hz is moving towards an observer with a velocity of 20 m/s. The observer is now moving towards the source with a velocity of 20 m/s. Apparent frequency heard by observer, if velocity of sound is 340 m/s, is
268 Hz
270 Hz
360 Hz
240 Hz
A man stands in a narrow, steep-sided valley. When he shouts he hears two echoes, one after 1s and other after 2s.If the velocity of sound in air is 330 m/s, the width of the valley is
