A stone is dropped into a lake from a tower 500 metre high. The sound of the splash will be heard by the man approximately after
[Given : Speed of sound = 340 m/s ]
1. 11.5 seconds
2. 21 seconds
3. 10 seconds
4. 14 seconds
A point source emits sound equally in all directions in a non-absorbing medium. Two points P and Q are at a distance of 2m and 3m respectively from the source. The ratio of the intensities of the waves at P and Q is :
(1) 9 : 4
(2) 2 : 3
(3) 3 : 2
(4) 4 : 9
If the pressure amplitude in a sound wave is tripled, then the intensity of sound is increased by a factor of
(1) 9
(2) 3
(3) 6

The ends of a stretched wire of length L are fixed at x = 0 and x = L. In one experiment, the displacement of the wire is and energy is E1, and in another experiment its displacement is and energy is E2. Then :
(1) E2 = E1
(2) E2 = 2E1
(3) E2 = 4E1
(4) E2 = 16E1
Consider ten identical sources of sound all giving the same frequency but having phase angles which are random. If the average intensity of each source is I0, the average of resultant intensity I due to all these ten sources will be :
(1) I = 100 I0
(2) I = 10 I0
(3) I = I0
