Overtones present in the sound
d (d)The sounds of different source are said to differ in quality. The number of overtones and their relative intensities determines the quality of any musical sound.

A person speaking normally produces a sound intensity of $40\,dB$ at a distance of $1\,m$. If the threshold intensity for reasonable audibility is $20\,dB,$ the maximum distance at which he can be heard clearly is ... $m$
When two progressive waves $\mathrm{y}_1=4 \sin (2 \mathrm{x}-6 \mathrm{t})$ and $\mathrm{y}_2=3 \sin \left(2 \mathrm{x}-6 \mathrm{t}-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ are superimposed, the amplitude of the resultant wave is
A uniform string oflength $20\ m$ is suspended from a rigid support. A short wave pulse is introduced at its lowest end. It starts moving up the string. The time taken to reach the supports is (take $g= 10 $ $ms^{-2}$ )
A composition string is made up by joining two strings of different masses per unit length $\rightarrow \mu$ and $4\mu$ . The composite string is under the same tension. A transverse wave pulse $: Y = (6 mm) \,\,sin\,\,(5t + 40x),$ where $‘t’$ is in seconds and $‘x’$ in meters, is sent along the lighter string towards the joint, the percentage of power transmitted to the heavier string through the joint is approximately ..... $\%$
An observer standing at station observes frequency $219 Hz$ when a train approaches and $184 Hz$ when train goes away from him. If velocity of sound in air is $340\, m/s$, then velocity of train and actual frequency of whistle will be
