When a tuning fork of frequency 341 is sounded with another tuning fork, six beats per second are heard. When the second tuning fork is loaded with wax and sounded with the first tuning fork, the number of beats is two per second. The natural frequency of the second tuning fork is :

(1) 334

(2) 339

(3) 343

(4) 347

When two sound waves are superimposed, beats are produced when they have :

(1) Different amplitudes and phases

(2) Different velocities

(3) Different phases

(4) Different frequencies

It is possible to hear beats from the two vibrating sources of frequency :

(1) 100 Hz and 150 Hz

(2) 20 Hz and 25 Hz

(3) 400 Hz and 500 Hz

(4) 1000 Hz and 1500 Hz

Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by $Y_1=4\sin 500\pi t$ and $Y_2=2\sin 506\pi t.$ Number of beats produced per minute is :

(1) 360

(2) 180

(3) 3

(4) 60

A wave represented by the given equation $y=a\cos (kx-\omega t)$ is superposed with another wave to form a stationary wave such that the point x = 0 is a node. The equation for the other wave is :

(1) $y=a\sin (kx+\omega t)$

(2) $y=-a\cos (kx+\omega t)$

(3) $y=-a\cos (kx-\omega t)$

(4) $y=-a\sin (kx-\omega t)$

A standing wave having 3 nodes and 2 antinodes is formed between two atoms having a distance 1.21 Å between them. The wavelength of the standing wave is :

(1) 1.21 Å

(3) 6.05 Å

(4) 3.63 Å

In stationary waves, the distance between a node and its nearest antinode is 20 cm. The phase difference between two particles having a separation of 60 cm will be :

(1) Zero

(2) π/2

(3) π

(4) 3π/2

The stationary wave produced on a string is represented by the equation $y=5\cos (\pi x/3)\sin 40\pi t$ where x and y are in cm and t is in seconds. The distance between consecutive nodes is :
