Column $I$ shows four systems, each of the same length $L$, for producing standing waves. The lowest possible natural frequency of a system is called its fundamental frequency, whose wavelength is denoted as $\lambda_{ f }$. Match each system with statements given in Column $II$ describing the nature and wavelength of the standing waves.
A car $'A'$ chasing another car $'B'$ with a speed of $20\, m/s$ sounding a horn of $180\, Hz$. While both cars are moving towards a stationary siren of frequency $170\, Hz$. What is the speed of car $B$ so that it can't hear any beat ....$m/s$ (speed of sound $= 340\, m/s$)
A whistle $S$ of frequency $f$ revolves in a circle of radius $R$ at a constant speed $v$. What is the ratio of largest and smallest frequency detected by a detector $D$ at rest at a distance $2R$ from the centre of circle as shown in figure ? (take $c$ as speed of sound)
An observer receives waves directly from a source of sound distant $120\,m$ in a big hall. He also receives waves reflected from the mid-point of $25\,m$ high ceiling. The wavelength of sound for constructive interference to take place between two waves, must be :
In order to double the frequency of the fundamental note emitted by a stretched string, the length is reduced to $\frac{3}{4}$$^{th}$ of the original length and the tension is changed. The factor by which the tension is to be changed, is
