A person in front of a mountain is beating a drum at the rate of $40$ per minute and hears no distinct echo. If the person moves $90 \,m$ closer to the mountain, he has to beat the drum at $60$ per minute to not hear any distinct echo. The speed of sound is .............. $ms^{-1}$
A source of sound of frequency $n$ is moving towards a stationary observer with a speed $S.$ If the speed of sound in air is $V$ and the frequency heard by the observer is ${n_1}$, the value of ${n_1}/n$ is
Two sound waves with wavelengths $5.0\,\, m$ and $5 .5\,\, m$ respectively, each propagate in a gas with velocity $330\,\, m/s.$ We expect the following number of beats per second.
$50$ tuning forks are arranged in increasing order of their frequencies such that each gives $4 \,beats/sec$ with its previous tuning fork. If the frequency of the last fork is octave of the first, then the frequency of the first tuning fork is ... $Hz$
$Assertion :$ When a beetle moves along the sand within a few tens of centimeters of a sand scorpion, the scorpion immediately turns towards the beetle and dashes towards it
$Reason :$ When a beetle disturbs the sand, it sends pulses along the sand's surface. One set of pulses is longitudinal while the other set is transverse.
A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of $27\,^o C$ two successive resonances are produced at $20\, cm$ and $73\, cm$ of column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is $320\, Hz,$ the velocity of sound in air at $27\,^o C$ is .... $m/s$
A tuning fork gives $4$ beats with $50 cm$ length of a sonometer wire. If the length of the wire is shortened by $1 cm$, the number of beats is still the same. The frequency of the fork is
The ratio of densities of nitrogen and oxygen is $14:16.$ The temperature at which the speed of sound in nitrogen will be same at that in oxygen at $55^oC$ is ..... $^oC$
