A$11.5$
a (a)The time taken by the stone to reach the lake
${t_1} = \sqrt {\left( {\frac{{2h}}{g}} \right)} = \sqrt {\left( {\frac{{2 \times 500}}{{10}}} \right)} = 10\,sec$ (Using $h = ut + \frac{1}{2}g{t^2}$)
Now time taken by sound from lake to the man
${t_2} = \frac{h}{v} = \frac{{500}}{{340}} \approx 1.5\sec $
==> Total time $ = {t_1} + {t_2} = 10 + 1.5 = 11.5\sec .$

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 ........... $\%$
A transverse wave travels on a taut steel wire with a velocity of ${v}$ when tension in it is $2.06 \times 10^{4} \;\mathrm{N} .$ When the tension is changed to $T$. the velocity changed to $\frac v2$. The value of $\mathrm{T}$ is close to
$Assertion :$ When a beetle moves along the sand within a few tens of centimeters of a sand scorpion, the scorpion immediately turns towards the beetle and dashes towards it
$Reason :$ When a beetle disturbs the sand, it sends pulses along the sand's surface. One set of pulses is longitudinal while the other set is transverse.
A string of length $1\ m$ fixed at both ends is vibrating in $3^{rd}$ overtone. Tension in string is $200\ N$ and linear mass density is $5\ gm/m$ . Frequency of these vibrations is ..... $Hz$
A uniform wire of length $L$ and mass $M$ is stretched between two fixed points, keeping tension $F$. A sound of frequency $m$ is impressed on it. Then the maximum vibrational energy is existing in the wire when $\mu $ =
Two sources of sound placed close to each other, are emitting progressive waves given by $ y_1=4sin\left( {600\pi t} \right)$ and $y_2=5sin\left( {608\pi t} \right)$ An observer located near these two sources of sound will hear
A wire of length $2\,L$ is made by joining two wires $A$ and $B$ of same lengths but different radii $r$ and $2r$ and made of the same material. It is vibrating at a frequency such that the joint of the two wires forms a node. If the number of antinodes in wire $A$ is $p$ and that in $B$ is $q$ then the ratio $p : q$ is
A tuning fork and a sonometer wire were sounded together and produce $4$ beats per second. When the length of sonometer wire is $95 cm$ or $100 cm,$ the frequency of the tuning fork is ..... $Hz$
