Two wave trains, with intensities I and 2I respectively arrive and superpose at a point P in opposite phases. The amplitude of the superposed wave at P at that instant will be proportional to,
1.
2.
3.
4.
Assertion: In a stationary wave, there is no transfer to energy.
Reason: There is no outward motion of the disturbance from one particle to adjoining particle in a stationary wave.
The speed of sound in a gas is \(v\) and the r.m.s. velocity of the gas molecules is \(c\). The ratio of \(v\) to \(c\) is:
1. \(\frac{3}{\gamma}\)
2. \(\frac{\gamma}{3}\)
3. \(\sqrt{\frac{3}{\gamma}}\)
4. \(\sqrt{\frac{\gamma}{3}}\)
Two pulses is a stretch string whose centers 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 graph between wave number () and angular frequency () is
Three sound waves of equal amplitudes have frequencies of \((n-1),~n,\) and \((n+1).\) They superimpose to give beats. The number of beats produced per second will be:
1. | \(1\) | 2. | \(4\) |
3. | \(3\) | 4. | \(2\) |
1. | \(330\) m/s | 2. | \(339\) m/s |
3. | \(350\) m/s | 4. | \(300\) m/s |
The fundamental frequency in an open organ pipe is equal to the third harmonic of a closed organ pipe. If the length of the closed organ pipe is \(20~\text{cm}\), the length of the open organ pipe is:
1. \(13.2~\text{cm}\)
2. \(8~\text{cm}\)
3. \(12.5~\text{cm}\)
4. \(16~\text{cm}\)
If the intensity is increased by a factor of 20; then how many decibels in the sound level increased?
1. 18
2. 13
3. 9
4. 7
A source of sound S emitting waves of frequency 100 Hz and an observer O are located at some distance from each other. The source is moving with a speed of 19.4 ms-1 at an angle of with the source-observer line as shown in the figure. The observer is at rest. The apparent frequency observed by the observer (velocity of sound in air 330 ms-1), is:
1. 100 Hz
2. 103 Hz
3. 106 Hz
4. 97 Hz
