    A vibrating string of certain length $\ell$ under a tension $\mathrm{T}$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75 \mathrm{~cm}$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4$ beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $\mathrm{n}$. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces $2$ per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$, the frequency $\mathrm{n}$ of the tuning fork in $\mathrm{Hz}$ is

    An observer is riding on a bicycle and moving towards a hill at $18\,km\,h ^{-1}$. He hears a sound from a source at some distance behind him directly as well as after its reflection from the hill. If the original frequency of the sound as emitted by source is $640\,\,Hz$ and velocity of the sound in air is $320\,m / s$, the beat frequency between the two sounds heard by observer will be $...Hz$.

    Two generators $S_1$ and $S_2$ produce water wave of equal frequency. A point $P$ is located such that $(S_1P -S_2P)$ is equal to half a wavelength. When operated alone, $S_1$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $2a$ at $P$ while $S_2$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $a$ . If the generators are operated in phase, which graph correctly shows the resultant oscillation at $P$ ?
