    A wire of $10^{-2} kgm^{-1}$ passes over a frictionless light pulley fixed on the top of a frictionless inclined plane which makes an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal. Masses $m$ and $M$ are tied at two ends of wire such that m rests on the plane and $M$ hangs freely vertically downwards. The entire system is in equilibrium and a transverse wave propagates along the wire with a velocity of $100 ms^{^{-1}}$.

     A narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at the positions right angle to each other. A source placed at $S$ generated a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts : One part travels along the longer path, while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the part waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed If a maxima is formed at the detector then, the magnitude of wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave produced is given by $\pi R$
