MCQ
The fundamental frequency of vibration of a string stretched between two rigid support is $50\,Hz$. The mass of the string is $18\,g$ and its linear mass density is $20\,g / m$. The speed of the transverse waves so produced in the string is $..........\,ms ^{-1}$
  • $90$
  • B
    $45$
  • C
    $30$
  • D
    $15$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$90$
a
Fundamental frequency $=50\,Hz$

$\frac{mass}{length}$=$\frac{20 g}{m}$

mass$=18\,g$

length of string $=\frac{18}{20} m =\frac{9}{10} m$

from diagram $\frac{\lambda}{2}=\ell$

$\Rightarrow \lambda=2 \ell=\frac{9}{5}\,m$

again speed $v=f \lambda=50 \times \frac{9}{5}=90\,m / s$

There are two identical chambers, completely thermally insulated from surroundings. Both chambers have a partition wall dividing the chambers in two compartments. Compartment $1$ is filled with an ideal gas and Compartment $3$ is filled with a real gas. Compartments $2$ and $4$ are vacuum . A small hole (orifice) is made in the partition walls and the gases are allowed to expand in vacuum

Statement $-1$ : No change in the temperature of the gas takes place when ideal gas expands in vacuum. However, the temperature of real gas goes down (cooling) when it expands in vacuum

Statement $-2$ : The internal energy of an ideal gas is only kinetic. The internal energy of a real gas is kinetic as well as potential
