C
c (c) After two seconds each wave travel a distance of $2.5 × 2 = 5 cm$
i.e. the two pulses will meet in mutually opposite phase and hence the amplitude of resultant will be zero.

A man standing on a platform observes that the frequency of the sound of a whistle emitted by a train drops by $140 Hz$. If the velocity of sound in air is $330 \,m / s$ and the speed of the train is $70 \,m / s$, the frequency of the whistle is .......... $Hz$
A vehicle with a horn of frequency $n$ is moving with a velocity of $30\, m/s$ in a direction perpendicular to the straight line joining the observer and the vehicle. The observer perceives the sound to have a frequency $n + {n_1}$. Then (if the sound velocity in air is $300\, m/s$)
For a solid rod, the Young's modulus of elasticity is $3.2 \times 10^{11}\,Nm ^{-2}$ and density is $8 \times 10^3\,kg\,m ^{-3}$. The velocity of longitudinal wave in the rod will be $......... \times 10^{3}\,ms^{-1}$
A tuning fork of frequency $340Hz$ is vibrated just above the tube of $120 cm$ height. Water is poured slowly in the tube. What is the minimum height of water necessary for the resonance .... $cm$ (speed of sound in the air $= 340 m/sec$)
A tuning fork arrangement (pair) produces $4$ beats/sec with one fork of frequency $288\, cps$. A little wax is placed on the unknown fork and it then produces $2\; beats/sec$. The frequency of the unknown fork is .... $cps$
The frequencies of two sound sources are $256 Hz$ and $260 Hz$. At $t = 0,$ the intensity of sound is maximum. Then the phase difference at the time $t = \frac{1}{16}\, sec$ will be
