An organ pipe $P_1$ closed at one end vibrating in its first overtone. Another pipe $P_2$ open at both ends is vibrating in its third overtone. They are in a resonance with a given tuning fork. The ratio of the length of $P_1$ to that of $P_2$ is :
Two closed organ pipes of length $100 \,cm$ and $101 \,cm$ $16$ beats in $20\, sec$. When each pipe is sounded in its fundamental mode calculate the velocity of sound .... $ms^{-1}$
A stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $\mathrm{f}_0$, which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2 \%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $\mathrm{km}$ per hour) to the nearest integer? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound which is $330 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$.
If speed of sound in air in $330 \,m / s$ then, find the number of tones present in an open organ pipe of length $1\, m$ whose frequency if $\leq 1000$.
A tuning fork of frequency $392 Hz,$ resonates with $50 cm $ length of a string under tension ($T$). If length of the string is decreased by $2\%$, keeping the tension constant, the number of beats heard when the string and the tuning fork made to vibrate simultaneously is
Wave has simple harmonic motion whose period is $4\; sec$ while another wave which also possesses simple harmonic motion has its period $3\; sec$. If both are combined, then the resultant wave will have the period equal to ....... $sec$
A source of sound of frequency $450$ cycles/sec is moving towards a stationary observer with $34\, m/sec$ speed. If the speed of sound is $340\, m/sec,$ then the apparent frequency will be ..... $cycles/sec$
