Assertion: Air at some distance above the fire is hotter than the same distance side wise.
Reason: Air surrounding the fire carries heat upward due to conventional current.

A

Both the assertion and the reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

Both the assertion and the reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

Assertion is true but reason is false

D

Assertion is false but reason is true.

Why is hotter at the same distance over the top of a fire than in front of it ?

A small source of sound S of frequency 500 Hz is attached to the end of a light string and is whirled in a vertical circle of radius 1.6 in. The string just remains tight when the source is at the highest point. (a) An observer is located in the same vertical plane at a large distance and at the same height as the centre of the circle. The speed of sound in air = 330 m s^-1 and g = 10ms^-2 . Find the maximum frequency heard by the observer. (b) An observer is situated at a large distance vertically above the centre of the circle. Find the frequencies heard by the observer corresponding to the sound emitted by the source When it is at the same height as the centre. ltbr.

Two audio speakers are kept some distance apart and are driven by the same amplifier system. A person is sitting at a place 6.0 m from one of the speakers and 6.4 m from the other. If the sound signal is continuously varied from 500 Hz to 5000 Hz, what are the frequencies for which there is a destructive interference at the place of the listener? Speed of sound in air = 320 ms^-1

Two identical tuning forks vibrating at the same frequency 256 Hz are kept fixed at some distance apart. A listener runs between the forks at a speed of 3.0 m s^-1 so that he approaches one tuning-fork and recedes from the other. find the beat frequency observed by the listener. Speed of sound in air = 332 m s^-1 . .

Statement 1 : A bullet is fired and it hits a target. An observer in the same plane heard two sounds: the crack of the rifle and the thud of the bullet striking the target at the same instant. Then the locus of the observer is a hyperbola where the velocity of sound is smaller than the velocity of the bullet. Statement 2 : If the difference of distances of a point P from two fixed points is constant and less than the distance between the fixed points, then the locus of P is a hyperbola.

A long, straight wire carrying a current of 1.0 A is placed horizontally in a uniform magnetic field B= ( 1.0 xx 10^-5) T pointing vertically upward. Find the magnitude of the resultant magnetic field at the points P and Q, both situated at a distance of 2.0 cm from the wire in the same horizontal plane.
