A tube, closed at one end and containing air, produces, when excited, the fundamental note of frequency `512 Hz`. If the tube is open at both ands the fundamental frequency that can be excited is (in Hz)A. 1024B. 512C. 256D. 128

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`v=f_(1) lamda_(1)=f_(2)lamda_(2)rArr 512xx4L=f_(2)xx2L`
`rArr f_(2)=1024Hz`

A progressive wave having amplitude `5 m` and wavelength `3m`. If the maximum average velocity of particle in half time period is `5 m//s` and waves is moving in the positive x-direction then find which may be the correct equation (s) of the wave ? [wave `x` in meter].A. `5 sin ((2pi)/(5)t-(2pi)/(3)x)`B. `4 sin((pit)/(2)-(2pi)/(3))+3 cos ((pi t)/(2)-(2pi)/(3)x)`C. `5 sin ((pi t)/(2)-(2pi)/(3)x)`D. `3 cos((2pi)/(5)t-(2pi)/(3)x)-4 sin ((2pi)/(5)t-(2pi)/(3)x)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C
`because lamda = 3 m :. k=(2pi)/(lamda)=(2pi)/(3)`
Maximum displacement in half time period `= 2a = 10 m`
So maximum average velocity `(10)/(.^(T)//_(2))=5 rArr T=4s rArr omega = (2pi)/(T)=(2pi)/(4)=(pi)/(2)`.

Three progressive waves `A,B` and `C` are shown in figure. With respect to wave `A` .A. The wave `C` lags behind in phase by `pi//2` and `B` leads by `pi//2`B. The wave `C` leads in phase by `pi` and `B` lags behind by `pi`C. The wave `C` leads in phase by `pi//2` and `B` lags behind by `pi//2`D. The wave `C` lags behind in phase by `pi` and `B` leads by `pi`

A source of sound emits sound waves at frequency `f_(0)`. It is moving towards an observer with fixed speed `v_(s)(v_(s) lt v` where v is the speed in air). If the observer were to move towards the source with speed `v_(0)` one of the following two graphs (A and B) will give the correct variation of the frequency f heard by the observer as `v_(0)` is changed, The variation of f with `v_(0)` is given correctly by :-A. graph A with slope `= (f_(0))/((v+v_(s))`B. graph B with slope `= (f_(0))/((v-v_(s))`C. graph B with slope `= (f_(0))/((v+v_(s))`D. graph A with slope `= (f_(0))/((v-v_(s))`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Apprent frequency
`f=f_(0)((V+V_(0))/(V-V_(S)))=(f_(0)V)/(V-V_(S))+(f_(0)V_(0))/((V-V_(S)))`

Two wave are represented by equation `y_(1) = a sin omega t` and `y_(2) = a cos omega t` the first wave :-A. leads the second by `pi`B. lags the second by `pi`C. leads the second by `(pi)/(2)`D. lags the second by `(pi)/(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`y_(1) = a sin omega t`
`y_(2) = a cos omega t = a sin(omega t + pi//2)`
`y_(1)` lags `y_(2)` behind by phase `(pi)/(2)`
