Question
In a Quincke's experiment the sound detected is changed from a maximum to a minimum when the sliding tube is moved through a distance of 2.50cm. Find the frequency of sound if the speed of sound in air is 340m/s.
✓
Answer
Distance between tow maximum to a minimum is given by, $\frac{\lambda}{4}=2.50\text{cm}$$\Rightarrow\lambda=10\text{cm}=10^{-1}\text{m}$
We know, V = nx$\Rightarrow\text{n}=\frac{\text{V}}{\lambda}=\frac{340}{10^{-1}}$
$=3400\text{Hz}$
$=3.4\text{KHz}$

Two metal strips, each of length l, are clamped parallel to each other on a horizontal floor with a separation b between them. A wire of mass m lies on them perpendicularly, as shown in A vertically-upward magnetic field of strength B exists in the space. The metal strips are smooth but the coefficient of friction between the wire and the floor is $\mu.$ A current i is established when the switch S is closed at the instant t = 0. Discuss the motion of the wire after the switch is closed. How far away from the strips will the wire reach?
