Two tuning forks $A$ and $B$ sounded together give $6$ beats per second. With an air resonance tube closed at one end, the two forks give resonance when the two air columns are $24 cm$ and $25 cm$ respectively. Calculate the frequencies of forks.
An observer standing near the sea shore observes $54$ waves per minute. If the wavelength of the water wave is $10m$ then the velocity of water wave is .... $ms^{-1}$
A uniform string resonates with a tuning fork, at a maximum tension of $32 \,N$. If it is divided into two segments by placing a wedge at a distance one-fourth of length from one end, then to resonance with same frequency the maximum value of tension for string will be ........... $N$
The transverse displacement in a streched string is given by
$y = 0.06 \sin \, \left( {\frac{{2\pi }}{3}x} \right)\cos \,(120\pi t)$
where $x$ and $y$ are in $m$ and $t$ is in $s$. The length of the string is $1.5\, m$ and its mass is $3.0 \times 10^{-2} \,kg$, then tension in string is ..... $N$
A standing wave in a pipe with a length $L=1.2 \,m$ is described by $y(x, t)=y_0 \sin [(2 \pi / L) x] \sin [(2 \pi / L) x+\pi / 4]$ based on above information, which one of the following statement is incorrect? (Speed of sound in air is $300 \,ms ^{-1}$ )
A wire of length one metre under a certain initial tension emits a sound of fundamental frequency $256 \,Hz$. When the tension is increased by $1 \,kg$ wt, the frequency of the fundamental node increases to $320 \,Hz$. The initial tension is ........... $kg \,wt$
