The frequency of a sound wave is $n$ and its velocity is $v$. If the frequency is increased to $4n,$ the velocity of the wave will be
A$v$
B$2v$
C$4v$
D$v/4$

A$v$
a (a) Velocity of sound is independent of frequency.
Therefore it is same $(v)$ for frequency $n$ and $4n.$

The amplitude of wave disturbance propagating in the positive $x$-direction is given by $y=\frac{1}{(1+x)^{2}}$ at time $t=0$ and $y=\frac{1}{1+(x-2)^{2}}$ at $t=1$ s, where $x$ and $y$ are in metres. The shape of wave does not change during the propagation. The velocity of the wave will be $...\,{m} / {s}.$
The persistence of sound in a room after the source of sound is turned off is called reverberation. The measure of reverberation time is the time required for sound intensity to decrease by $60 \,dB$. It is given that the intensity of sound falls off as $I_0 \exp \left(-c_1 \alpha\right)$ where $I_0$ is the initial intensity, $c_1$ is a dimensionless constant with value $1 / 4$. Here, $\alpha$ is a positive constant which depends on the speed of sound, volume of the room, reverberation time, and the effective absorbing area $A_e$. The value of $A_e$ is the product of absorbing coefficient (with value between $0$ and $1,1$ being a perfect absorber) and the area of the room. For a concert hall of volume $600 \,m ^3$, the value of $A_e$ (in $m ^2$ ) required to give a reverberation time of $1 s$ is closest to (speed of sound in air $=340 \,m / s$ )
Two wires are in unison. If the tension in one of the wires is increased by $2\%, 5$ beats are produced per second. The initial frequency of each wire is .... $Hz$
$16$ tunning forks are arranged in the order of increasing frequencies. Any two successive forks give $8$ beats per sec when sounded together. If the frequency of the last fork is twice the first, then the frequency of the first fork is
An organ pipe filled with a gas at $27^{\circ}\,C$ resonates at $400\,Hz$ in its fundamental mode. If it is filled with the same gas at $90^{\circ}\,C$, the resonance frequency at the same mode will be $...........\,Hz$
Standing waves are produced in a $10 \;m$ long stretched string. If the string vibrates in $5$ segments and the wave velocity is $20\; m/s$, the frequency is ... $Hz$
