If the threshold of hearing is assumed to be the reference $(0\ dB)$ , then the threshold of pain is taken to be $120\ dB$ . Let the corresponding sound intensities be $I_0$ and $I$ respectively. Then $\frac{{{I_0}}}{I}$ is
The equation of a stationary wave is $y = 0.8\cos \,\left( {\frac{{\pi x}}{{20}}} \right)\sin 200\,\pi t$, where $x$ is in $cm$ and $t$ is in sec. The separation between consecutive nodes will be..... $cm$
If in an experiment for determination of velocity of sound by resonance tube method using a tuning fork of $512 Hz$, first resonance was observed at $30.7 cm$ and second was obtained at $63.2 cm$, then maximum possible error in velocity of sound is .....$cm/sec$ (consider actual speed of sound in air is $332 m/s$)
Two cars ${X}$ and ${Y}$ are approaching each other with velocities $36\; {km} / {h}$ and $72\; {km} / {h}$ respectively. The frequency of a whistle sound as emitted by a passenger in car ${X}$, heard by the passenger in car ${Y}$ is $1320 \;{Hz}$. If the velocity of sound in air is $340\; {m} / {s}$, the actual frequency of the whistle sound produced is ........ $Hz.$
Two sound waves of intensity $2 \,W / m ^2$ and $3 \,W / m ^2$ meet at a point to produce a resultant intensity $5 \,W / m ^2$. The phase difference between two waves is ......
A $43\, m$ long rope of mass $5.0\, kg$ joins two rock climbers. One climber strikes the rope and the second one feels the effect $1.4\, s$ later. What is the tension in the rope .... $N$ ?
A sine wave has an amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$. Let $V$ be the wave velocity and $v$ be the maximum velocity of a particle in the medium. Then
