The distance between two consecutive crests in a wave train produced in a string is $5 cm.$ If $2$ complete waves pass through any point per second, the velocity of the wave is ..... $cm/sec$
A sound source $S$ is moving along a straight track with speed $v,$ and is emitting sound of frequency $v_{o}$ (see figure). An observer is standing at a finite clistance, at the point $O$, from the track. The time variation of frequency heard by the observer is best represented by
$\left(t_{0}\right.$ represents the instant when the distance between the source and observer is minimum)
A hospital uses an ultrasonic scanner to locate tumours in a tissue. What is the wavelength of sound in the tissue in which the speed of sound is $1.7\; km s ^{-1}$ ? The operating frequency of the scanner is $4.2 \;MHz$
The ends of a stretched wire of length $L$ are fixed at $x = 0$ and $x = L.$ In one experiment, the displacement of the wire is ${y_1} = A\sin (\pi x/L)\sin \omega t$ and energy is ${E_1}$, and in another experiment its displacement is ${y_2} = A\sin (2\pi x/L)\sin 2\omega t$ and energy is ${E_2}$. Then
A pipe open at both ends has a fundamental frequency $f$ in air. The pipe is dipped vertically in water so that half of it is in water. The fundamental frequency of the air column is now ..... $f$
A string fixed at one end is vibrating in its second overtone. The length of the string is $10\ cm$ and maximum amplitude of vibration of particles of the string is $2\ mm$ . Then the amplitude of the particle at $9\ cm$ from the open end is
A wave travels in a medium according to the equation of displacement given by $y(x,\,t) = 0.03\sin \pi (2t - 0.01x)$ where $y$ and $x$ are in metres and $t$ in seconds. The wavelength of the wave is .... $m$
