16 tunning forks are arranged in the order of increasing frequencies. Any two successive forks give 8 beats per sec when sounded together. If the frequency of the last fork is twice the first, then the frequency of the first fork is 

(1) 120

(2) 160

(3) 180

(4) 220

The frequency of a stretched uniform wire under tension is in resonance with the fundamental frequency of a closed tube. If the tension in the wire is increased by 8 N, it is in resonance with the first overtone of the closed tube. The initial tension in the wire is 

(1) 1 N

(2) 4 N

(3) 8 N

(4) 16 N

A metal wire of linear mass density of 9.8 g/m is stretched with a tension of 10 kg weight between two rigid supports 1 metre apart. The wire passes at its middle point between the poles of a permanent magnet, and it vibrates in resonance when carrying an alternating current of frequency n. The frequency n of the alternating source is :

(1) 25 Hz

(2) 50 Hz

(3) 100 Hz

(4) 200 Hz

An open pipe is in resonance in its 2^nd harmonic with tuning fork of frequency f₁. Now it is closed at one end. If the frequency of the tuning fork is increased slowly from f₁ , then again a resonance is obtained with a frequency f₂. If in this case the pipe vibrates in $n^{th}$ harmonic, then -

(1) n = 3, $f_2=\frac{3}{4}{f}_1$

(2) n = 3, $f_2=\frac{5}{4}{f}_1$

(3) n = 5, $f_2=\frac{5}{4}{f}_1$

(4) n = 5, $f_2=\frac{3}{4}{f}_1$

Two loudspeakers L₁ and L₂ driven by a common oscillator and amplifier, are arranged as shown. The frequency of the oscillator is gradually increased from zero and the detector at D records a series of maxima and minima. If the speed of sound is 330 ms^–1 then the frequency at which the first maximum is observed is

(1) 165 Hz

(2) 330 Hz

(3) 496 Hz

(4) 660 Hz

A string of length L and mass M hangs freely from a fixed point. Then the velocity of transverse waves along the string at a distance x from the free end is

1. $\sqrt{gL}$

2. $\sqrt{gx}$

3. gL

4. gx

Two pulses in a stretched string whose centres are initially 8 cm apart are moving towards each other as shown in the figure. The speed of each pulse is 2 cm/s. After 2 seconds, the total energy of the pulses will be 

1. Zero

2. Purely kinetic

3. Purely potential

4. Partly kinetic and partly potential

The diagram below shows the propagation of a wave. Which points are in the same phase :
