a (a) On comparing the given equation with standard equation
We get $\frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda } = \frac{\pi }{{20}} \Rightarrow \lambda = 40$
Separation between two consecutive nodes = $\frac{\lambda }{2} = \frac{{40}}{2} = 20\,\,cm$

A string of length $2 m$ is fixed at both ends. If this string vibrates in its fourth normal mode with a frequency of $500 Hz$ then the waves would travel on its with a velocity of ..... $m/s$
A car $'A'$ chasing another car $'B'$ with a speed of $20\, m/s$ sounding a horn of $180\, Hz$. While both cars are moving towards a stationary siren of frequency $170\, Hz$. What is the speed of car $B$ so that it can't hear any beat ....$m/s$ (speed of sound $= 340\, m/s$)
Two travelling waves ${y_1} = A\sin [k(x - c\,t)]$ and ${y_2} = A\sin [k(x + c\,t)]$ are superimposed on string. The distance between adjacent nodes is
$A$ source $S$ of frequency $f_0$ and an observer $O$, moving with speeds $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively, are movinng away from each other. When they are separated by distance a $(t =0)$, a pulse is emitted by the source. This pulse is received by $O$ at time $t_1$ then $t_1$, is equal to
The equation of a wave disturbance is given as : $y = 0.02 cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{2} + 50\pi t} \right) cos (10 x),$ where $x$ and $y$ are in meters and $t$ in seconds. Choose the wrong statement:
An underwater sonar source operating at a frequency of $60 KHz$ directs its beam towards the surface. If the velocity of sound in air is $330\, m/s,$ the wavelength and frequency of waves in air are:
The length of a son meter wire $AB$ is $110\; cm$. Where should the two bridges be placed from $A$ to divide the wire in $3$ segments whose fundamental frequencies are in the ratio of $1:2:3$?
