c (c) According the concept of sound image
$n' = \frac{{v + {v_{{\rm{person}}}}}}{{v - {v_{{\rm{person}}}}}}.272 = \frac{{345 + 5}}{{345 - 5}} \times 272 = 280\,Hz$
$\Delta n = $ Number of beats $ =280 -272 = 8 Hz$

Speed of a transverse wave on a straight wire (mass $6.0\; \mathrm{g}$, length $60\; \mathrm{cm}$ and area of cross-section $1.0\; \mathrm{mm}^{2}$ ) is $90\; \mathrm{ms}^{-1} .$ If the Young's modulus of wire is $16 \times 10^{11}\; \mathrm{Nm}^{-2},$ the extension of wire over its natural length is
At standard temperature and pressure the density of a gas is $1.3$ $kg/{m^3}$ and the speed of the sound in gas is $330\, m/sec.$ Then the degree of freedom of the gas will be
A resonating air column shows resonance with a tuning fork of frequency $256\, Hz$ at column lengths $33.4\, cm$ and $101.8\, cm$. The speed of sound in air is ...... $ms^{-1}$
A wave is given by $y = 3\sin 2\pi \left( {\frac{t}{{0.04}} - \frac{x}{{0.01}}} \right)$, where $y$ is in $cm$. Frequency of wave and maximum acceleration of particle will be
Two cars $A$ and $B$ are moving away from each other in opposite directions. Both the cars are moving with a speed of $20\, ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. If an observer in car $A$ detects a frequency $2000\, Hz$ of the sound coming from car $B$, what is the natural frequency of the sound source of car $B$ .... $Hz$ ? (speed of sound in air $= 340\, ms^{-1}$)
A closed pipe of length $10 \,cm$ has its fundamental frequency half that of the second overtone of an open pipe. The length of the open pipe ......... $cm$
Equation of travelling wave on a stretched string of linear density $5\,g/m$ is $y = 0.03\,sin\,(450\,t -9x)$ where distance and time are measured in $SI$ united. The tension in the string is ... $N$
