     A narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at the positions right angle to each other. A source placed at $S$ generated a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts : One part travels along the longer path, while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the part waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed  If the minima is formed at the detector then, the magnitude of wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave produced is given by

    A uniform tube of length $60.5\,cm$ is held vertically with its lower end dipped in water. A sound source of frequency $500\,Hz$ sends sound waves into the tube. When the length of tube above water is $16\,cm$ and again when it is $50\,cm,$ the tube resonates with the source of sound. Two lowest frequencies (in $Hz$), to which tube will resonate when it is taken out of water, are (approximately).
