A$90$
a (a) The minimum distance between compression and rarefaction of the wire
$l = \frac{\lambda }{4}$
$\therefore $ Wave length $\lambda = 4l$
Now by $v = n\lambda \Rightarrow n = \frac{{360}}{{4 \times 1}} = 90\,{\sec ^{ - 1}}.$

An engine moving away from a vertical cliff blows a horn at a frequency $f$. Its speed is $0.5 \%$ of the speed of sound in air. The frequency of the reflected sound received at the engine is ............ $f$
A string of length $L$ and mass $M$ hangs freely from a fixed point. Then the velocity of transverse waves along the string at a distance $x$ from the free end is
An open tube is in resonance with string (frequency of vibration of tube is $n_0$). If tube is dipped in water so that $75\%$ of length of tube is inside water, then the ratio of the frequency of tube to string now will be
The equation of stationary wave along a stretched string is given by $y = 5\sin \frac{{\pi x}}{3}\cos 40\pi t$ where $x$ and $y$ are in centimetre and $t$ in second. The separation between two adjacent nodes is .... $cm$
The note"Saa" on the Sarod and the Sitar have the same pitch. The property of sound that is most important in distinguishing between the two instruments is
A stone thrown into still water, creates a circular wave pattern moving radially outwards. If $r$ is the distance measured from the centre of the pattern. the amplitude of the wave aries as
An observer receives waves directly from a source of sound distant $120\,m$ in a big hall. He also receives waves reflected from the mid-point of $25\,m$ high ceiling. The wavelength of sound for constructive interference to take place between two waves, must be :
The figure below shows pressure variation in two different sound waves in air with time at a given position. Both the figures are drawn to the same scale. Which of the following statements is true?
One end of a string of length $L$ is tied to the ceiling of a lift accelerating upwards with an acceleration $2g$. The other end of the string is free. The linear mass density of the string varies linearly from $0$ to $\lambda$ from bottom to top.
Two cars $A$ and $B$ are moving away from each other in opposite directions. Both the cars are moving with a speed of $20\, ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. If an observer in car $A$ detects a frequency $2000\, Hz$ of the sound coming from car $B$, what is the natural frequency of the sound source of car $B$ .... $Hz$ ? (speed of sound in air $= 340\, ms^{-1}$)
