A transverse wave is expressed as y = y0 sin2πfy. For what value of λ, maximum particle velocity is equal to 4 times the wave velocity?
An engine moving towards a wall with a velocity 50 ms-1 emits a note of 1.2 kHz. Speed of sound in air is 350 ms-1 The frequency of the note after reflection from the wall as heard by the driver of the engine is
2.4 kHz

A glass tube is open at both the ends.A tuning fork of frequency f resonates with the air column inside the tube. Now the tube is placed vertically inside water so that half the length of the tube is filled with water. Now the air column inside the tube is in unison with another fork of frequency f'. Then
f' = f
f' = 4f
f' = 2f
f' = f/2
It is possible to recognize a person by hearing his voice even if he is hidden behind a solid wall. This is due to the fact that his voice
has a definite capacity
has a definite quality
has definite pitch
can penetrate the wall
