Sound waves of wavelength $\mathrm{\lambda }$ travelling in a medium with a speed of v m/s enter into another medium where its speed is 2v m/s. The wavelength of sound waves in the second medium is:

1. $\mathrm{\lambda }$

2. $\frac{\mathrm{\lambda }}{2}$

3. $2\mathrm{\lambda }$

4. $4\mathrm{\lambda }$

Speed of sound wave in the air

2. increases with the pressure

3. increases with increase in humidity

4. decreases with increase in humidity

Change in temperature of the medium changes

1. frequency of sound waves

2. amplitude of sound waves

3. wavelength of sound waves

4. loudness of sound waves

With the propagation of longitudinal waves through a medium, the quantity transmitted is:

1. matter

2. energy

A sound wave is passing through the air column in the form of compression and rarefaction. In consecutive compressions and rarefactions,

1. density remains constant

2. Boyle's law is obeyed

3. bulk modulus of air oscillates

4. there is no transfer of heat

Equation of a plane progressive wave is given by $y=0.6 \sin 2\mathrm{\pi }\left(\mathrm{t}-\frac{x}{2}\right)$. On reflection from a denser medium, its amplitude becomes  $\frac{2}{3}$rd of the amplitude of the incident wave. The equation of the reflected wave is:

1. $\mathrm{y}=0.6 \sin 2\mathrm{\pi }\left(\mathrm{t}+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}\right)$

2. $\mathrm{y}=-0.4 \sin 2\mathrm{\pi }\left(\mathrm{t}+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}\right)$

3. $\mathrm{y}=0.4 \sin 2\mathrm{\pi }\left(\mathrm{t}+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}\right)$

4. $\mathrm{y}=-0.4 \sin 2\mathrm{\pi }\left(\mathrm{t}-\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}\right)$

A string of mass 2.5 kg is under the tension of 200 N. The length of the stretched string is 20.0 m. If the transverse jerk is struck at one end of the string, the disturbance will reach the other end in:

1. 1 s

2. 0.5 s

3. 2 s

4. data given is insufficient

A train whistling at constant frequency is moving towards a station at a constant speed v. The train goes past a stationary observer on the station. The frequency n' of the sound as heard by the observer is plotted as a function of time t (figure). Identify the expected curve.
