In Quincke's tube a detector detects minimum intensity. Now one of the tube is displaced by 5 cm. During displacement detector detects maximum intensity 10 times, then finally a minimum intensity (when displacement is complete). The wavelength of sound is :

Two point sources of sound are placed at a distance d and a detector moves on a straight line parallel to the line joining the sources as shown in figure. At a distance D away from sources. Initially Detector is situated on the line so that it is equidistant from both the sources. Find the displacement of detector when it detects n^(th) maximum sound and also find its displacement when it detects n^(th) minimum sound.

A rod or length 2m starts to roll on a horizontal surface as shown in figure. At the same time an ant starts from one end of the rod to other and when the rod rools through a distance 10m the ant dreaches the other end (B). Calcualte the distance and displacement of the ant (a) with respect to the rod (b) with respect to the ground.

(a) A source of sound S and a detector D are placed at some distance from one another. A big cardboard is placed near the detector and perpendicular to the line SD as shown in figure. It is gradually moved away and it is found that the intensity changes from a maximum to a minimum as the board is moved through a distance of 20 cm. Find the frequency of the sound emitted. Velocity of sound in are is 336 m//s. (b) A source emitting sound of frequency 180 Hz is placed in front of a wall at a distance of 2 m from it. A detector is also placed in front of the wall at the same distance from it. find the minimum distance between the source and the detector for which the detector detects a maximum of sound . Speed of sound in air = 360 m//s.

A tuning fork vibrating with a frequency of 500 Hz is kept close to the open end of a tube filled with water, as shown in figure. The water level in the tube is gradually lowered When the water level is 17 cm below the open the open end, maximum intensity of sound is heard. If the room temperature is 20^(@) C, the speed of sound in air at the temperature is

The displacement of the medium in a sound wave is given by the equation y_(1) = A cos(ax + bt) where A , a and b are positive constants. The wave is reflected by an obstacle situated at x = 0 . The intensity of the reflected wave is 0.64 times that of the incident wave. (a) What are the wavelength and ffrequency of incident wave? (b) Write the equation for the reflected wave. ( c ) In the resultant wave formed after reflection, find the maximum and minimum values of the particle speeds in the medium. (d) Express the resultant wave as a superposition of a standing wave and a travelling wave. what are the positions of the antinodes of the standing wave ? What is the direction of propagation of travelling wave?
