MCQ
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
    $(A) \rightarrow p, r, \ and \ t,(B) \rightarrow p \ and \ q (C) \rightarrow q, \ and \ s,(D) \rightarrow  r \ and \ s$
  • B

Answer

Correct option: C.
$(A) \rightarrow p \ and \ t,(B) \rightarrow p \ and \ s (C) \rightarrow q, \ and \ s,(D) \rightarrow  q \ and \ r$

In case of pipe we can produce longitudinal waves and for strings we produce transverse waves.

$A \rightarrow(p, t):$ It is a closed organ pipe hence in case of fundamental vibrations length of the tube must be $\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}$ of the wavelength (half loop).

$\frac{\lambda_t}{4}=L \Rightarrow \lambda_t=4 L$

$B \rightarrow(p, s)$ : It is open organ pipe hence in case of fundamental vibrations length of the pipe must be half of the wavelength (one loop).

$\frac{\lambda_t}{2}=L \Rightarrow \lambda_t=2 L$

$C \rightarrow(q, s)$ : It is a case of string of length $L$ fixed at both ends.

In case of fundamental vibrations length of the pipe must be half of the wavelength (one loop).

$\frac{\lambda_t}{2}=L \Rightarrow \lambda_t=2 L$

$D \rightarrow(q, r):$ In this case mid-point is fixed hence half-length must form one loop.

$\frac{\lambda_t}{2}=\frac{L}{2} \Rightarrow \lambda_t=L$

A projectile is launched from the origin in the $xy$ plane ( $x$ is the horizontal and $y$ is the vertically up direction) making an angle $\alpha$ from the $x$-axis. If its distance. $r =\sqrt{ x ^2+ y ^2}$ from the origin is plotted against $x$, the resulting curves show different behaviours for launch angles $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ as shown in the figure below. For $\alpha_1, r ( x )$ keeps increasing with $x$ while for $\alpha_2$, $r(x)$ increases and reaches a maximum, then decreases and goes through a minimum before increasing again. The switch between these two cases takes place at an angle $\alpha_c\left(\alpha_1 < \alpha_c < \alpha_2\right)$. The value of $\alpha_c$ is [ignore where $v_0$ is the initial speed of the projectile and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity]
