An organ pipe of length $L$ open at both ends is found to vibrate in its first harmonic when sounded with a tuning fork of $480\, Hz$. What should be the length of a pipe closed at one end, so that it also vibrates in its first harmonic with the same tuning fork ?
  • A$\frac{L}{4}$
  • B$\frac{L}{2}$
  • C$L$
  • D$2L$

    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

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

    Give the answer question $1,2$ and $3.$

    A train $S1$, moving with a uniform velocity of $108 km / h$, approaches another train $S 2$ standing on a platform. An observer $O$ moves with a uniform velocity of $36 km / h$ towards $S 2$, as shown in figure. Both the trains are blowing whistles of same frequency $120 Hz$. When $O$ is $600 m$ away from $S 2$ and distance between $S 1$ and $S 2$ is $800 m$, the number of beats heard by $O$ is. . . . . [Speed of the sound $=330 m / s$ ]
