A wave has velocity $u$ in medium $P$ and velocity $2u$ in medium $Q.$ If the wave is incident in medium $P$ at an angle of $30°$ then the angle of refraction will be .... $^o$
A copper wire is held at the two ends by rigid supports. At $50^{\circ} C$ the wire is just taut, with negligible tension. If $Y=1.2 \times 10^{11} \,N / m ^2, \alpha=1.6 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$ and $\rho=9.2 \times 10^3 \,kg / m ^3$, then the speed of transverse waves in this wire at $30^{\circ} C$ is .......... $m / s$
The persistence of sound in a room after the source of sound is turned off is called reverberation. The measure of reverberation time is the time required for sound intensity to decrease by $60 \,dB$. It is given that the intensity of sound falls off as $I_0 \exp \left(-c_1 \alpha\right)$ where $I_0$ is the initial intensity, $c_1$ is a dimensionless constant with value $1 / 4$. Here, $\alpha$ is a positive constant which depends on the speed of sound, volume of the room, reverberation time, and the effective absorbing area $A_e$. The value of $A_e$ is the product of absorbing coefficient (with value between $0$ and $1,1$ being a perfect absorber) and the area of the room. For a concert hall of volume $600 \,m ^3$, the value of $A_e$ (in $m ^2$ ) required to give a reverberation time of $1 s$ is closest to (speed of sound in air $=340 \,m / s$ )
A source of sound $S$ of frequency $500 Hz$ situated between a stationary observer $O$ and a wall $W$, moves towards the wall with a speed of $2 m/s$. If the velocity of sound is $332 m/s$, then the number of beats per second heard by the observer is (approximately)
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 :
A source of sound placed at the open end of a resonance column sends an acoustic wave of pressure amplitude ${\rho _0}$ inside the tube. If the atmospheric pressure is ${\rho _A},$ then the ratio of maximum and minimum pressure at the closed end of the tube will be
A tuning fork of frequency $340\,Hz$ resonates in the fundamental mode with an air column of length $125\,cm$ in a cylindrical tube closed at one end. When water is slowly poured in it, the minimum height of water required for observing resonance once again is________ $cm$
The average density of Earth’s crust $10\ km$ beneath the surface is $2.7\ gm/cm^3$ . The speed of longitudinal seismic waves at that depth is $5.4\ km/s$ . The bulk modulus of Earth’s crust considering its behaviour as fluid at that depth is
