In a medium sound travels $2\, km$ in $3\, sec$ and in air, it travels $3 \,km$ in $10\, sec$. The ratio of the wavelengths of sound in the two media is
A source of sound $A$ emitting waves of frequency $1800\,Hz$ is falling towards ground with a terminal speed $v.$ The observer $B$ on the ground directly beneath the source receives waves of frequency $2150\,Hz.$ The source $A$ receives waves, reflected from ground of frequency nearly $..... Hz ($Speed of sound $= 343\,m/s )$
Intensity level $200 cm$ from a source of sound is $80 dB$. If there is no loss of acoustic power in air and intensity of threshold hearing is ${10^{ - 12}}W{m^{ - 2}}$ then, what is the intensity level at a distance of $400 cm$ from source .... $dB$
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..... $cm$
Two tuning forks $A\,\, \& \,\,B$ produce notes of frequencies $256 Hz \,\,\& \,\,262 Hz$ respectively. An unknown note sounded at the same time as $A$ produces beats . When the same note is sounded with $B$, beat frequency is twice as large . The unknown frequency could be ... $Hz$
Wave has simple harmonic motion whose period is $4\; sec$ while another wave which also possesses simple harmonic motion has its period $3\; sec$. If both are combined, then the resultant wave will have the period equal to ....... $sec$
