a (a)The resultant amplitude is given by
${A_R} = \sqrt {{A^2} + {A^2} + 2AA\cos \theta } = \sqrt {2{A^2}(1 + \cos \theta )} $

The extension in a string, obeying Hooke's law, is $x$. The speed of sound in the stretched string is $v$. If the extension in the string is increased to $1.5x$, the speed of sound will be
A uniform string oflength $20\ m$ is suspended from a rigid support. A short wave pulse is introduced at its lowest end. It starts moving up the string. The time taken to reach the supports is (take $g= 10 $ $ms^{-2}$ )
A train, standing in a station yard, blows a whistle of frequency $400 \,\,Hz$ in still air. The wind starts blowing in the direction from the yard to the station with a speed of $10\,\,m/s.$ Given that the speed of sound in still air is $340\,\,m/s.$ Mark the INCORRECT statement :
$Assertion :$ 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.
Two waves represented by the following equations are travelling in the same medium ${y_1} = 5\sin 2\pi (75t - 0.25x)$, ${y_2} = 10\sin 2\pi (150t - 0.50x)$ The intensity ratio ${I_1}/{I_2}$ of the two waves is
In a resonance tube experiment when the tube is filled with water up to height of $17.0\, cm$ from bottom, it resonates with a given tuning fork. When the water level is raised the next resonance with the same tuning fork occurs at a height of $24.5\, cm$. If the velocity of sound in air is $330\, m / s ,$ the tuning fork frequency is$......Hz$
If velocity of sound in a gas is $360\, m/s$ and the distance between a compression and the nearest rarefaction is $1m$, then the frequency of sound is ..... $Hz$
In a resonance tube, the first resonance is obtained when the level of water in the tube is at $16\,cm$ from the open end. Neglecting end correction, the next resonance will be obtained when the level of water from the open end is .... $cm$
