(d) Standing waves can be produced only when two similar type of waves (same frequency and speed, but amplitude may be different) travel in opposite directions.

A train moving towards a hill at a speed of $72\ km/hr$ sounds a whistle of frequency $500\ Hz$ . A wind is blowing from the hill at a speed of $36\ km/hr$ . If the speed of sound in air is $340\ m/s$ , the frequency heard by a man on the hill (nearly) is ... $Hz$
Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by $Y_1 = 4\, sin\, 500\pi t$ and $Y_2 = 2\, sin\, 506\, \pi t$ Number of beats produced per minute is
In the experiment for the determination of the speed of sound in air using the resonance column method, the length of the air column that resonates in the fundamental mode, with a tuning fork is $0.1\,m$. when this length is changed to $0.35\,m,$ the same tuning fork resonates with the first overtone. Calculate the end correction .... $m$
An engine giving whistle is moving towards a stationary observer with $110\,m/s$ speed. What will be the ratio of the frequency of the whistle heard when the engine is approaching and receding from the observer? (the speed of sound is $330\,m/s$ )
A resonance tube is old and has jagged end. It is still used in the laboratory to determine velocity of sound in air. A tuning fork of frequency $512\,Hz$ produces first resonance when the tube is filled with water to a mark $11\,cm$ below a reference mark, near the open end of the tube. The experiment is repeated with another fork of frequency $256\,Hz$ which produces first resonance when water reaches a mark $27\,cm$ below the reference mark. The velocity of sound in air, obtained in the experiment, is close to .... $ms^{-1}$
A wave equation which gives the displacement along the $Y$ direction is given by the equation $y = {10^4}\sin (60t + 2x)$, where $x$ and $y$ are in metres and $t$ is time in seconds. This represents a wave
