A wave is propagating along $x$-axis. The displacement of particles of the medium in $z$-direction at $t = 0$ is given by: $z =$ exp$[ -(x + 2)^2]$ , where $‘x’$ is in meters. At $t = 1s$, the same wave disturbance is given by: $z =$ exp $ [ - (2 - x)^2 ]$. Then, the wave propagation velocity is
A$4 m/s$ in $+ x$ direction
B$4 m/s$ in $-x$ direction
C$2 m/s$ in $+ x$ direction
D$2 m/s$ in $- x$ direction

a Let wave equation be
$z=e^{-\left|x-v\left(t-t_{0}\right)\right|^{2}}$
At $t=0, x+v t_{0}=x+2 \Rightarrow v t_{0}=2$
At $t=1 s, x-v\left(1-t_{0}\right)=x-2 \Rightarrow v=+4 m / s$

A narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at the positions right angle to each other. A source placed at $S$ generated a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts : One part travels along the longer path, while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the part waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed If the minima is formed at the detector then, the magnitude of wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave produced is given by
$Assertion :$ 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.
When a guitar string is sounded with a $440\, Hz$ tuning fork, a beat frequency of $5\, Hz$ is heard. If the experiment is repeated with a tuning fork of $437\,Hz$, the beat frequency is $8\, Hz$. The string frequency $(Hz)$ is
An observer is approaching with a speed $v$, towards a stationary source emitting sound waves of wavelength $\lambda_0$. The wavelength shift detected by the observer is (Take $c=$ speed of sound)
