A sound wave of wavelength $32 cm$ enters the tube at $S$ as shown in the figure. Then the smallest radius $r$ so that a minimum of sound is heard at detector $D$ is ... $cm$
The ratio of intensities between two coherent sound sources is $4: 1$. The difference of loudness in dB between maximum and minimum intensities when they interfere in the space is ..........
$Assertion :$ A transverse waves are produced in a very long string fixed at one end. Only progressive wave is observed near the free end.
$Reason :$ Energy of reflected wave does not reach the free end.
Two cars $A$ and $B$ are moving away from each other in opposite directions. Both the cars are moving with a speed of $20\, ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. If an observer in car $A$ detects a frequency $2000\, Hz$ of the sound coming from car $B$, what is the natural frequency of the sound source of car $B$ .... $Hz$ ? (speed of sound in air $= 340\, ms^{-1}$)
When an engine passes near to a stationary observer then its apparent frequencies occurs in the ratio $5/3$. If the velocity sound is $340 m/s$, than the velocity of engine is .... $m/s$
An open tube is in resonance with string (frequency of vibration of tube is $n_0$). If tube is dipped in water so that $75\%$ of length of tube is inside water, then the ratio of the frequency of tube to string now will be
An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a velocity one-fifth of the velocity of sound. The precentage change in the apparent frequency is ..... $\%$
