B$\frac{{10}}{n}$
b (b) Distance between the consecutive node $ = \frac{\lambda }{2},$
but $\lambda = \frac{v}{n} = \frac{{20}}{n}$ so $\frac{\lambda }{2} = \frac{{10}}{n}$

A source producing sound of frequency $170 Hz$ is approaching a stationary observer with a velocity $17 \,ms^{-1}$. The apparent change in the wavelength of sound heard by the observer is (speed of sound in air $= 340 \,ms^{-1}$) ..... $m$
The pressure wave, $P = 0.01\,sin\,[1000t -3x]\,Nm^{-2},$ corresponds to the sound produced by a vibrating blade on a day when atmospheric temperature is $0\,^oC.$ On some other day when temperature is $T,$ the speed of sound produced by the same blade and at the same frequency is found to be $336 \,ms^{-1}$. Approximate value of $T$ is .... $^oC$
The equation of a transverse wave is given by $y = 100\,\sin \pi (0.04z - 2t)$ where $y$ and $z$ are in $cm$ and $t$ is in seconds. The frequency of the wave in $Hz$ is
Suppose that the speed of sound in air at a given temperature is $400 m/sec$. An engine blows a whistle at $1200 Hz$ frequency. It is approaching an observer at the speed of $100 m/sec$. What is the apparent frequency as heard by the observer .... $Hz$
A wave travelling along the $x-$axis is described by the equation $y\left( {x,t} \right) = 0.005cos\left( {\alpha x - \beta t} \right)$ If the wavelength and the time period of the wave are $0.08\ m$ and $2.0\ s$, respectively, then $\alpha$ and $\beta$ in appropriate units are
Two identical flutes produce fundamental nodes of frequency $300\,Hz$ at $27\,^oC.$ If the temperature of air in one flute is increased to $31\,^oC,$ the numbe of the beats heard per second will be
A transverse sinusoidal wave of amplitude $a,$ wavelength $\lambda$ and frequency $n$ is travelling on a stretched string. The maximum speed of any point on the string is $v/10,$ where $v$ is the speed of propagation of the wave. If $a = {10^{ - 3}}\,m$ and $v = 10\,m{s^{ - 1}}$, then $\lambda$ and $n$ are given by
