Two vibrating strings of the same material but lengths $L$ and $2L$ have radii $2r$ and $r$ respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. Both the strings vibrate in their fundamental modes, the one of length $L$ with frequency $n_1$ and the other with frequency $n_2$. The ratio $n_1/n_2$ is given by

- 1A car $P$ approaching a crossing at a speed of $10\, m/s$ sounds a horn of frequency $700\, Hz$ when $40\, m$ in front of the crossing. Speed of sound in air is $340\, m/s$. Another car $Q$ is at rest on a road which is perpendicular to the road on which car $P$ is reaching the crossing (see figure). The driver of car $Q$ hears the sound of the horn of car $P$ when he is $30\, m$ in front of the crossing. The apparent frequency heard by the driver of car $Q$ is .... $Hz$View Solution

- 6The persistence of sound in a room after the source of sound is turned off is called reverberation. The measure of reverberation time is the time required for sound intensity to decrease by $60 \,dB$. It is given that the intensity of sound falls off as $I_0 \exp \left(-c_1 \alpha\right)$ where $I_0$ is the initial intensity, $c_1$ is a dimensionless constant with value $1 / 4$. Here, $\alpha$ is a positive constant which depends on the speed of sound, volume of the room, reverberation time, and the effective absorbing area $A_e$. The value of $A_e$ is the product of absorbing coefficient (with value between $0$ and $1,1$ being a perfect absorber) and the area of the room. For a concert hall of volume $600 \,m ^3$, the value of $A_e$ (in $m ^2$ ) required to give a reverberation time of $1 s$ is closest to (speed of sound in air $=340 \,m / s$ )View Solution
