MCQ
Two identical plates of different metals are joined to form a single plate whose thickness is double the thickness of each plate. If the coefficients of conductivity of each plate are $2$ and $3$ respectively, then the conductivity of composite plate will be
  • A
    $5$
  • $2.4$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D
    $1.2$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2.4$
b
(b)Thermal conductivity of composite plate
${K_{eq}} = \frac{{2{K_1}{K_2}}}{{{K_1} + {K_2}}} = \frac{{2 \times 2 \times 3}}{{2 + 3}}$$ = \frac{{12}}{5}$= $2.4$

Two identical coherent sound sources $R$ and $S$ with frequency $f$ are $5 \,m$ apart. An observer standing equidistant from the source and at a perpendicular distance of $12 \,m$ from the line $R S$ hears maximum sound intensity.When he moves parallel to $R S$, the sound intensity varies and is a minimum when he comes directly in front of one of the two sources. Then, a possible value of $f$ is close to ............ $Hz$ (the speed of sound is $330 \,m / s$ )
$Assertion :$ The pitch of wind instruments rises and that of string instruments falls as an orchestra warms up.
$Reason :$ When temperature rises, speed of sound increases but speed of wave in a string fixed at both ends decreases.
