c First and fourth wave interfere destructively. So from the interference of $2^{\text {nd }}$ and $3^{\text {rd }}$ wave only,
$\Rightarrow I _{2 e \varepsilon}= I _0+ I _0+2 \sqrt{ I _0} \sqrt{ I _0} \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=3 I _0$
$\Rightarrow n =3$

A rod of mass $m$ and length $l$ is suspended from ceiling with two string of length $l$ as shown. When the rod is given a small push in the plane of page and released time period is $T_1$ and when the rod is given a push perpendicular to plane time period of oscillation is $T_2$ . The ratio $\frac{{T_1^2}}{{T_2^2}}$ is
The bob of simple pendulum having length $l$, is displaced from mean position to an angular position $\theta$ with respect to vertical. If it is released, then velocity of bob at lowest position
Two masses $m_1=1 \,kg$ and $m_2=0.5 \,kg$ are suspended together by a massless spring of spring constant $12.5 \,Nm ^{-1}$. When masses are in equilibrium $m_1$ is removed without disturbing the system. New amplitude of oscillation will be .......... $cm$
$Y = A \sin \left(\omega t +\phi_{0}\right)$ is the time-displacement equation of a SHM. At $t=0$ the displacement of the particle is $Y =\frac{ A }{2}$ and it is moving along negative $x$ -direction. Then the initial phase angle $\phi_{0}$ will be ...... .
A particle executes $S.H.M.$ of amplitude A along $x$-axis. At $t =0$, the position of the particle is $x=\frac{A}{2}$ and it moves along positive $x$-axis the displacement of particle in time $t$ is $x=A \sin (\omega t+\delta)$, then the value $\delta$ will be
A particle moves with simple harmonic motion in a straight line. In first $\tau \,s$, after starting from rest, it travels a distance $a$, and in next $\tau \,s$, it travels $2a$ in same direction then
A solid cylinder of density $\rho_0$, cross-section area $A$ and length $l$ floats in a liquid $\rho(> \rho_0)$ with its axis vertical, as shown. If it is slightly displaced downward and released, the time period will be
A particle executes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $'a'$ and time period $V$. The displacement of the particle when its speed is half of maximum speed is $\frac{\sqrt{ x } a }{2} .$ The value of $x$ is $\ldots \ldots \ldots$
