A$6$
a Frequency $=\frac{\text { velocity }}{\text { wavelength }}$
$v_{1}=\frac{v}{\lambda_{1}}=\frac{330}{5}=66 \mathrm{Hz}$
and $v_{2}=\frac{v}{\lambda_{2}}=\frac{330}{5.5}=60 \mathrm{Hz}$
Number of beats per second $=v_{1}-v_{2}$
$=66-60=6$

A vibrating tuning fork is moving slowly and uniformly in a horizontal circular path of radius $8\,m$. The shortest distance of an observer in same plane from the tuning fork is $9 \,m$. The distance between the tuning fork and observer at the instant when apparent frequency becomes maximum is ......... $m$
The transverse displacement $y (x, t)$ of a wave on a string is given by $y\left( {x,t} \right) = {e^{ - \left( {a{x^2} + b{t^2} + 2\sqrt {ab} \;xt} \right)}}$ .This represents a
The linear density of a vibrating string is $1.3 \times 10^{-4}\, kg/m.$ A transverse wave is propagating on the string and is described by the equation $Y = 0.021\, \sin (x + 30t)$ where $x$ and $y$ are measured in meter and $t$ in second the tension in the string is ..... $N$
A transverse wave is described by the equation $Y = {Y_0}\sin 2\pi \left( {ft - \frac{x}{\lambda }} \right)$. The maximum particle velocity is four times the wave velocity if
The wave function of a pulse is given by $y=\frac{5}{(4 x+6 t)^2}$, where $x$ and $y$ are in metre and $t$ is in second. The velocity of pulse is ......... $m / s$
