    stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $f_0$, which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2\%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $km$ per hour) to the nearest integer ..... $km/hr$ ? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound which is $330$ $ms^{-1}$.

    A source, approaching with speed $u$ towards the open end of a stationary pipe of length $L$, is emitting a sound of frequency $f_5$. The farther end of the pipe is closed. The speed of sound in air is $v$ and $f_0$ is the fundamental frequency of the pipe. For which of the following combination(s) of $u$ and $f_5$, will the sound reaching the pipe lead to a resonance?

    $(A)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_5=f_0$

    $(B)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_5=2 f_0$

    $(C)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_5=0.5 f_0$

    $(D)$ $u=0.5 v$ and $f_5=1.5 f_0$

    In an experiment to study standing waves, you use a string whose mass per length is $μ$ = $(1.0 ± 0.1) × 10^{-4}\ kg/m$ . You look at the fundamental mode, whose frequency $f$ is related to the length $L$ and tension $T$ of the string by the following equation $L$ = $\frac{1}{{2f}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{\mu }} $ You make a plot with $L$ on the $y-$ axis and $\sqrt T$ on the $x-$ axis, and find that the best fitting line is $y$ = $(8.0 ± 0.3) × 10^{-3}x + (0.2 ± 0.04)$ in $SI\ units$ . What is the value of the frequency of the wave (including the error)? Express your result in $SI\ unit\ (Hz)$
