$x=10 \sin 2 \pi(100 t-0.02 x)+10 \sin 2 \pi(100 t+0.02 x)$

$\Rightarrow 10[\sin A+\sin B]$

where

$B=2 \pi(100 t-0.02 x)$ and

$A=2 \pi(100 t+0.02 x)$

Thus,

$\Rightarrow 10\left[2 \sin \frac{A+B}{2} \sin \frac{A-B}{2}\right]$

$\Rightarrow 20 \sin (2 \pi 100 t) \sin (2 \pi 0.02 x)$

Comparing the above equation with standard standing wave equation, we get amplitude $=20$ and wave vector

$k=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}=2 \pi \times 0.02 \Rightarrow \lambda=50$

Therefore, the loop length $=\frac{\lambda}{2}=25$

    Two trains $A$ and $B$ are moving with speeds $20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and $30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with $B$ ahead of $A$. The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train  $A$ blows a long whistle.

    Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from $f_1=800 \mathrm{~Hz}$ to $f_2=1120 \mathrm{~Hz}$, as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus $320 \mathrm{~Hz}$. The speed of sound in still air is $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.

    $1.$  The speed of sound of the whistle is

    $(A)$ $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $B$

    $(B)$ $360 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $B$

    $(C)$ $310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $A$ and $360 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $B$

    $(D)$ $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in both the trains

    $2.$  The distribution of the sound intensity of the whistle as observed by the passengers in train $\mathrm{A}$ is best represented by

    $Image$

    $3.$  The spread of frequency as observed by the passengers in train $B$ is

    $(A)$ $310 \mathrm{~Hz}$ $(B)$ $330 \mathrm{~Hz}$ $(C)$ $350 \mathrm{~Hz}$ $(D)$ $290 \mathrm{~Hz}$
