A bus is moving with a velocity of $5 m/s$ towards a huge wall. the driver sounds a horn of frequency $165 Hz.$ If the speed of sound in air is $355 m/s,$ the number of beats heard per second by a passenger on the bus will be
A$6$
B$5$
C$3$
D$4$

B$5$
b (b) According the concept of sound image
$n' = \frac{{v + {v_B}}}{{v - {v_B}}} \times n = \frac{{355 + 5}}{{355 - 5}} \times 165 = 170 Hz$
Number of beats $ = n' - \,n = 170 - 165 = 5$

If two tuning forks $A$ and $B$ are sounded together, they produce $4$ beats per second. $A$ is then slightly loaded with wax, they produce $2$ beats when sounded again. The frequency of $A$ is $256.$ The frequency of $B$ will be
While measuring the speed of sound by performing a resonance column experiment, a student gets the first resonance condition at a column length of $18\,cm$ during winter. Repeating the same experiment during summer, she measures the column length to be $x\,cm$ for the second resonance. Then
There is a destructive interference between the two waves of wavelength $\lambda$ coming from two different paths at a point. To get maximum sound or constructive interference at that point, the path of one wave is to be increased by
Two points are located at a distance of $10\; m$ and $15 \;m$ from the source of oscillation. The period of oscillation is $0.05 \;sec$ and the velocity of the wave is $300 \;m / s$. What is the phase difference between the oscillations of two points?
Two closed organ pipes, when sounded simultaneously gave $4$ beats per sec. If longer pipe has a length of $1m$. Then length of shorter pipe will be, ... $cm$ $(v = 300 m/s)$
Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by ${Y_1} = 4\sin 500\pi t$ and ${Y_2} = 2\sin 506\pi t.$ Number of beats produced per minute is
The wave function of a pulse is given by $y=\frac{5}{(4 x+6 t)^2}$, where $x$ and $y$ are in metre and $t$ is in second. The velocity of pulse is ......... $m / s$
