A standing wave is formed by the superposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions. The transverse displacement is given by $y\left( {x,t} \right) = 0.5\sin\, \left( {\frac{{5\pi }}{4}x} \right)\,\cos\, \left( {200\,\pi t} \right)$. What is the speed of the travelling wave moving in the positive $x$ direction .... $m/s$ ? ($x$ and $t$ are in meter and second, respectively.)

A transverse wave is represented by the equation $y = {y_0}\sin \frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }(vt - x)$ For what value of $\lambda$, the maximum particle velocity equal to two times the wave velocity
When a tuning fork of frequency $341$ is sounded with another tuning fork, six beats per second are heard. When the second tuning fork is loaded with wax and sounded with the first tuning fork, the number of beats is two per second. The natural frequency of the second tuning fork is
$Assertion :$ The base of Laplace correction was that exchange of heat between the region of compression and rarefaction in air is negligible.
$Reason :$ Air is bad conductor of heat and velocity of sound in air is quite large.
A wire of $10^{-2} kgm^{-1}$ passes over a frictionless light pulley fixed on the top of a frictionless inclined plane which makes an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal. Masses $m$ and $M$ are tied at two ends of wire such that m rests on the plane and $M$ hangs freely vertically downwards. The entire system is in equilibrium and a transverse wave propagates along the wire with a velocity of $100 ms^{^{-1}}$.
A plane wave $y=A\,\, sin\,\, \omega \left( {t - \frac{x}{v}} \right)$ undergo a normal incidence on a plane boundary separating medium $M_1$ and $M_2$ and splits into a reflected and transmitted wave having speeds $v_1$ and $v_2$ then
