A standing wave pattern of amplitude $A$ in a string of length $L$ shows $2$ nodes (plus those at two ends). If one end of the string corresponds to the origin and $v$ is the speed of progressive wave, the disturbance in the string, could be represented (with appropriate phase) as:
d From the given information, there are four nodes of the wave( $n=4$ ), including the two at the ends. Clearly, it forms a sine wave. With amplitude $A,$ wave number, $k=$ $(n-1) \pi / L=3 \pi / L .$ Writing this in the standard sinusoidal standing wave form, $y=$
$A \sin (k x) \cos (\omega t)$
$\omega=k v$
$y=A \sin (3 \pi x / L) \cos (3 \pi v t / L)$

In a closed end pipe of length $105 \,\,cm,$ standing waves are set up corresponding to the third overtone. What distance from the closed end, amongst the following, is a pressure Node ..... $cm$ ?
A wire is stretched between two rigid supports vibrates in its fundamental mode with a frequency of $50\,\, Hz$ . The mass of the wire is $30\,\, g$ and its linear density is $4\, \times \, 10^{-2}\,\, kg/m$ . The speed of the transverse wave at the string is ...... $ms^{-1}$
The frequency changes by $10 \%$ as a sound source approaches a stationary observer with constant speed $V_s$. What would be percentage change in the frequency as the source recedes the observer with same speed $\left(V_s < V\right)$ is ........... $\%$
The ratio of densities of nitrogen and oxygen is $14:16.$ The temperature at which the speed of sound in nitrogen will be same at that in oxygen at $55^oC$ is ..... $^oC$
Two sirens situated one kilometer apart are producing sound of frequency $330 Hz$. An observer starts moving from one siren to the other with a speed of $2 m/s$. If the speed of sound be $330 m/s$, what will be the beat frequency heard by the observer
A stationary observer receives sound from two identical tuning forks, one of which approaches and the other one recedes with the same speed (much less than the speed of sound). The observer hears $2\; beats/sec$. The oscillation frequency of each tuning fork is $v_{0}=1400 \;\mathrm{Hz}$ and the velocity of sound in air is $350\; \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. The speed of each tuning fork is close to
Sound wave travels with a velocity of $300\, m\, s^{-1}$ through a gas. $9\, beats$ are produced in $3\, s$ when two waves pass through it simultaneously. If one of the waves has $2\, m$ wavelength, the wavelength of the other wave is ..... $m$
