In a standing waves all particles of same wave have same $v$ and hence vibrate in phase passing the mean point at same time. The amplitude of the waves is different at different points hence the speed is different.

Two whistles $A$ and $B$ produces notes of frequencies $660 Hz$ and $596 Hz$ respectively. There is a listener at the mid-point of the line joining them. Now the whistle $B$ and the listener start moving with speed $30 m/s$ away from the whistle $A.$ If speed of sound be $330 m/s,$ how many beats will be heard by the listener
Two tuning forks have frequencies $380$ and $384 Hz$ respectively. When they are sounded together, they produce $4$ beats. After hearing the maximum sound, how long will it take to hear the minimum sound .... $\sec$
Two waves of wavelengths $99\, cm$ and $100\, cm$ both travelling with velocity $396\, m/s$ are made to interfere. The number of beats produced by them per second is
A string under a tension of $129.6\,\, N$ produces $10\,\, beats /sec$ when it is vibrated along with a tuning fork. When the tension is the string is increased to $160\,\, N,$ it sounds in unison with same tuning fork. calculate fundamental freq. of tuning fork .... $Hz$
A student determines the velocity of sound with the help of a closed organ pipe. If the observed length for fundamental frequency is $24.7 m$, the length for third harmonic will be .... $cm$
Two identical coherent sound sources $R$ and $S$ with frequency $f$ are $5 \,m$ apart. An observer standing equidistant from the source and at a perpendicular distance of $12 \,m$ from the line $R S$ hears maximum sound intensity.When he moves parallel to $R S$, the sound intensity varies and is a minimum when he comes directly in front of one of the two sources. Then, a possible value of $f$ is close to ............ $Hz$ (the speed of sound is $330 \,m / s$ )
A second harmonic has to be generated in a string of length $l$ stretched between two rigid supports. The point where the string has to be plucked and touched are
The end correction of a resonance column is $1\,cm.$ If the shortest length resonating with the tuning fork is $10\,cm,$ the next resonating length should be ..... $cm$
