    Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by ${y_1} = 4\,\sin \,\left( {500\pi t} \right)$ and ${y_2} = 2\,\sin \,\left( {506\pi t} \right)$. These tuning forks are held near the ear of a person. The person will hear $\alpha \, beats/s$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $\beta $. Find the value of $\beta  - \alpha $

    In an experiment to study standing waves, you use a string whose mass per length is $μ$ = $(1.0 ± 0.1) × 10^{-4}\ kg/m$ . You look at the fundamental mode, whose frequency $f$ is related to the length $L$ and tension $T$ of the string by the following equation $L$ = $\frac{1}{{2f}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{\mu }} $ You make a plot with $L$ on the $y-$ axis and $\sqrt T$ on the $x-$ axis, and find that the best fitting line is $y$ = $(8.0 ± 0.3) × 10^{-3}x + (0.2 ± 0.04)$ in $SI\ units$ . What is the value of the frequency of the wave (including the error)? Express your result in $SI\ unit\ (Hz)$

    This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2.$ Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.

    Statement $1:$ In the resonance tube experiment, if the tuning fork is replaced by another identical turning fork but with its arm having been filled, the length of the air column should be increased to obtain resonance again.

    Statement $2:$ On filling the arms, the frequency of a tuning fork increases.

    A source of sound emits sound waves at frequency $f_0$. It is moving towards an observer with fixed speed $v_s$ ($v_s < v$, where $v$ is the speed of sound in air). If the observer were to move towards the source with speed $v_0$, one of the following two graphs ($A$ and $B$) will given the correct variation of the frequency $f$ heard by the observer as $v_0$ is changed The variation of $f$ with $v_0$ is given correctly by
